On Wednesday morning, Kawasaki Frontale host Sagan Tosu, as the home team attempts to continue their stellar start to their league campaign in the J1 League.
Kawasaki Frontale have made an impressive start to their campaign in the Japanese top-flight, winning seven of their first eight league matches.
The good run of form has been enough to move the home side to the top of the table, three points clear of second-place Grampus Eight, who have a game in hand.
The reigning champions good form this season is just a continuance on the form that helped them to the Japanese title last season. The Blue and Black are now unbeaten in their previous 13 league outings having recorded ten wins in the process.
One facet of the champions play has been their attacking endeavours, both at the end of last season and the start of the current campaign, as they have scored at least two goals in eight of their last ten league matches.
Toro Oniki’s team has also been formidable on home soil of late, as they have won 20 of their last 21 league matches on home soil.
Sagan Tosu have enjoyed decent league form of late in the J1 League and the visitors are fourth-place in the Japanese top-flight table, eight points behind their top of the table hosts.
A 1-0 defeat at Cerezo Osaka last time out ended a six-game unbeaten start of the new league campaign. The defeat also ended a run of six straight clean sheets in the Japanese top-flight for the visitors.
To further add salt to the wounds, the loss ended a ten-game unbeaten run on their league travels for Sagan Tosu.
Forebet predicts that the home side will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to continue their strong title defence so far.
