Sagan Tosu to Win

The long trip south-east will not prove beneficial for Shimizu S-Pulse. They are winless in their last eight competitive outings and have a tough task in overcoming Sagan Tosu, who are looking at a top-four finish. Odds are in favour of the hosts, who have won five of the last six matches at the Ekimae Real Estate Stadium, losing just once and drawing the other.

Total Goals: Over 2.5

S-Pa's most recent trips to the Ekimae Real Estate Stadium panned out as they had hoped for, claiming a win and a draw. While we predict their positive streak against Sagan Tosu will finish in this meeting, and so will remnants of those encounters. Both fixtures concluded with less than three goals on offer and that will not be the case in this meeting on September 11. Both sides have been involved in high scoring affairs in recent weeks and that will be the case in this encounter.

Both Teams to Score: Yes

The last five meetings between Sagan Tosu and Shimizu S-Pulse finished with an Under 2.5 goals scoreline. What is interesting is that on three occasions, both sides did not get represented on the scoreboard. However, both sides are scoring proficiently. S-Pa have breached the opposition backline and scored in nine successive away trips. Barring their 0-4 defeat to Yokohama F. Marinos, Sagan have scored in eight of their previous nine competitive outings.

They need to improve their goal scoring record as net goal difference will play its part in deciding the positions on the points table.
