Shonan Bellmare vs Consadole Sapporo: Free J-League Fixture Predictions

The hosts have never defeated Consadole Sapporo in the last eight meetings, which include two League cup fixtures. During that time, Consadole Sapporo bagged four wins while the other four matched were draws. Does it mean Consadole Sapporo has a chance of completing the double against Bellmare this season? Here are our best three predictions for the game:

Under 2.5 goals

Despite both sides finding it hard to defend, they have shown signs of improvement in recent games. Four of the last 5 encounters registered under 2.5 goals. All the last 8 games for Bellmare didn’t have more than two goals. The hosts have a stronger defence than Consadole Sapporo ahead of the clash, so we expect them to fight hard to end the dominance by the visitors in recent games.

No chance for goal-goal

We think this J-league fixture will likely have goals on one end. Four clean sheets for Shonan Bellmare in the last six games make them a formidable opponent ahead of this clash. On the other side, Consadole Sapporo is having defensive concerns after keeping only two clean sheets in the last six league duties.

Shonan Bellmare will score first goal of the match

We have tipped the hosts to find the net first. Their defensive prowess can only get better at home. For Consadole Sapporo, there is need to improve defensively, especially after keeping only two clean sheets in the last six and leaking at least two goals in every three of their last six games.
