Tokyo Verdy vs Kawasaki Frontale: Prediction for the Match on June 29 2025
Prediction for the Japan J1 League pitch contest between Tokyo Verdy, and Kawasaki Frontale, prowlers rapidly recuperating from the temporary AFC setback which plunged them way behind. Conversely, this game is contested between Hiroshi Jofuku, Coach to Tokyo Verdy, and Shigetoshi Hasebe, one of the most respected managers in the league.
A preview of the game, team statistics, emerging lineups, and several betting options are available below.
Tokyo Verdy: Form and Statistics
Recent Form: LWDLL
The Tokyo Greens will attempt pulling rabbits from their hats in this contest, which succeeds three losses, one win and a stalemate from five previous weeks. As we have taken note of, home excellence is not a thing for the Ajinomoto sharers - with two losses in three last home games.
The Japanese local tabloids and conspiracy blogs all postulate Tokyo’s mediocrity to be caused by a false sense of comfort upon promotion. However, it is easy to see the problem - same tactics since the J2League, nothing new.
With a dampened morale at home, the slight expectation of progress may be truncated prematurely in the first half if they pull the foolishness they did against Cerezo Osaka in the 2-1 loss, or the away 3-0 defeat against the Hitachi Sun Kings.
Tokyo Verdy Lineup
Team: Table wise, they are the second least scoring team, with only fourteen goals recorded. This raw data alone projects how poorly Hiroshi Jofuku’s strategy has produced results. Work is needed if he intends to inspire confidence in the fans but firstly, he must regain control of the dressing room.
Player: Although a few names in the midfield deserve honorary mentions, none has really impressed beyond their pay grade. Kawasaki, Fukazawa, Morita, Onaga were defenders of the badge against the Cerezo Osaka.
Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Vidotto, Taniguchi-Tsunashima-Miyahara, Fukazawa-Hirakawa-Morita-Onaga, Kawasaki-Fukuda, Arai.
Head Coach: Hiroshi Jofuku
Out: No injury concern.
Kawasaki Frontale: Form and Statistics
Recent Form: DWWLW
The Kawasaki giants have shown bold intentions in their league journey, paving through the paths with aggression as they climbed up recent matches. They dusted off the 1-2 shakedown against Vissel Kobe in last week’s 3-1 dustup against Albirex Niigata, a perfect way to reassure the fans who were beginning to feel threatened by the mid-table traffic.
Away from home, Kawasaki has played against tough teams, losing 2-1 to Kashima Antlers, but beating Sanfrecce Hiroshima (2-1) and Yokohama Fulies (1-0).
Kawasaki Frontale: Lineup
Team: For the thrill of the game, Kawasaki has provided us with entertainment, with the fans spectating with a lot of emotions. This season alone, we have witnessed a roll of anger, frustration, joy and elation. Shigetoshi Hasebe is highly celebrated among the club loyalists, with his perfect blend of experience and youth, stamina and skill while managing the dynamism of the league and the domestic Cup.
Players: Our spotlight will beam in a player who didn’t score any goal last week, but defended against the onslaught of the opposition, goalkeeper Louis Yamaguchi, who dampened the confidence of the hopeful visitors by preventing all balls from scoring. A game that was poised to go either way became strictly lopsided because of his out-of-the-box efforts.
Defender Jesiel picked up an injury in the 79yh minute and was replaced by Maruyama who should begin in his place.
Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Yamaguchi, Sasaki-Maruyama-Takai-Miura, Kawahara-Yamamoto, Ito-Wakizaka-Marcinho, Kanda.
Head Coach: Shigetoshi Hasebe
Out: Nil

Tokyo Verdy vs Kawasaki Frontale match prediction 29 June 2025
Personally, I think Kawasaki Frontale should have an elephantine prejudice for victory. Reason being their quality of play in recent times nips the budding, evident in the trail of victories and near-wins in the last ten nine weeks. Even in cases of defeat, the losses were not counted as flawless victories, with the team scoring as consolation. The same cannot be said for the Tokyo Greens, who have not scored more than a goal in the last six weeks. Also, the last time the teams met, Kawasaki had AFC concerns and so rested their better players, hence the 0-0 stalemate.
In conclusion, the men from the Todoroki Athletics will claim all points without much sweat.
Below are my top thoughts:
- My prediction is for a victory for Shigetoshi Hasebe’s guests at the coefficient of 1.95 odds with Betway;
- Our betting tip is for a BTTS - NO at the coefficient of 1.80 odds from Bet365;
- Lastly, we expect at least two goals from the visitors at a coefficient of 2.15 odds from 1xbet, which should conclude our prediction for this contest.
