Shimizu S-Pulse
Despite being the underdogs in this matchup, Shimizu S-Pulse will go out to win this game. The hosts have no other option in their quest for survival but to bag all points in this game. A 4-0 loss to FC Tokyo a few days ago may have dampened their hopes but this fixture puts Shimizu S-Pulse against an equally struggling outfit that has little to play for in this game.
Over 2.5
Lots of goals are expected in this game. While these teams have struggled to score goals in recent fixtures, H2H Stats paints a different picture of this fixture. Eight of the last nine meetings had more than two goals. We expect another high scoreline in this game.
BTTS
We are also predicting goals on both ends of the pitch in this game. Out of six previous meetings, four games had goals on both ends of the pitch. Such an outcome is likely in this fixture because these teams have worrying defending.
Game Preview: Shimizu S-Pulse Faced by Relegation Threat
Three losses in a row mean the relegation nooses keeps tightening on Shimizu Pulse. The question is, do they have a chance of survival? Find out in our match preview below.
Shimizu S-Pulse
1W and 4L in the last four matches put Shimizu S-Pulse in a tight spot heading into this match. The hosts failed to score in all those four losses and couldn't keep a clean sheet in the 1W that ended 2-1. In this fixture, it is a do-or-die for Shimizu S-Pulse. They risk relegation if the losing streak continues in this match. A poor scoring record is an issue that head coach Miguel Angel Lotina should address if his team is to get the desired outcome in this fixture.
Consadole Sapporo
Consadole Sapporo has shown real intent of improving in recent matches even though their safety in Japan's top flight is almost assured. After some inconsistent performance that alternated between losses and wins, the visitors bagged back to back draws before this match. For Consadole Sapporo, 44 points in 34 games mean they are 14 points clear of the relegation zone. Four matches are left to play and losing all or any of them wouldn't have any impact on their assured survival in the J.League.
