Sanfrecce Hiroshima vs Consadole Sapporo: Form, Recent Games, and News

Sanfrecce Hiroshima Preview

Sanfrecce Hiroshima outdid themselves in the previous campaign. A mid-table team almost came close to the title and finished in Top 3 at the end of the campaign. It is yet to be seen whether this trend will continue or it was a one-off good season. We think that they will be one of the main contenders in the new campaign too.

Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo Preview

Consadole Sapporo were one of the weakest teams for the better part of the season but picked up speed in the last couple of months. They finished the season strong as one of the best teams (in terms of form) but will this translate into the new campaign? They have never been a highly impressive team in the past.
