Sanfrecce Hiroshima vs Albirex Niigata Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Sanfrecce Hiroshima vs Albirex Niigata is an old rivalry that once was one of the most competitive in the elite. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

We do not think that this game will have a huge number of goals. In fact, we expect both teams to score a goal each and to stop it there. This is a very intense rivalry and the two teams have not played each other in six years almost. Back then, every game was either a draw or a 1:0/0:1. Nine out of the last ten games between them ended with less than 2.5 goals.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

We think that this game will definitely end in a draw. There is a chance that Sanfrecce may win it with a minimal difference but Albirex Niigata seem to be at the top of their game upon their return in the elite. We think that it will be a very close match and we expect a draw here.

Correct Score Prediction: 1:1 Draw

Of course, when you look at the Sanfrecce Hiroshima vs Albirex Niigata line ups, the hosts are superior in most positions but this means nothing if you play well tactically. We think that the teams will exchange a goal each and the match will end like that. There is also the 0:0 possibility but we doubt it in the 2nd round.

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.

Albirex Niigata Preview

Albirex Niigata finally returned to the elite after some failures and the team definitely looked like it deserves a spot among the best. They finished the season at the top of the table and got direct promotion. They scored 73 goals in 42 games and also had the best defense in the entire league. We will see how they perform this season but this is a team with a huge fanbase and we can expect some good things.
