Kobe vs Kawasaki Frontale Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Japanese J League on Saturday, 22 July 2023.
Kobe have been delivering impressive displays consistently since the beginning of this season. As a result, they have climbed into the top of the league table.
However, Kobe are points level with Yokohama. Therefore, a win is essential for them to secure their position. The team will play host to an inconsistent Kawasaki Frontale on Saturday.
Kawasaki Frontale are on a seven-match unbeaten streak against Kobe at the moment. The recent meeting ended in a 2-1 win for Kawasaki.
Eight of the last 10 head to head clashes had goals over 2.5 ft. At this venue, Kawasaki are on a four-match unbeaten streak against Kobe.
Kobe had a winless start at home but picked up a momentum from their third match. Since then Kobe are on a six-match unbeaten streak at home and won five of those.
Meanwhile, Kawasaki Frontale have an average form on the road. They were winless in six of their 11 road trips this season. Do also note that they lost five of those.
Considering all these observations, we expect a win for Kobe on Saturday despite of the h2h superiority of Kawasaki Frontale.
Five of the last six home matches of Kobe had goals over 2.5 ft. Meanwhile, four of the last six road trips of Kawasaki were high-scoring too. Thus, we expect this match to have goals over 2.5 ft.
Neither of these two teams are having a solid defensive line. Kobe, who we expect to seal a win here, have allowed a total of 11 goals in the last six home matches. In that case, we expect this match to have goals from both teams.
Kobe looks to have an edge when considering all the above mentioned stats. Kawasaki Frontale’s unimpressive form on the road is the main reason among those to back Kobe here.
We therefore like to place Kobe to win at 2.45 odds as the main tip for this match. For the second tip, we like to place the over 2.5 goals tip at 1.70 odds.
