Sanfrecce Hiroshima is set to play host to Machida Zelvia at Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima on matchday 33 of the J1 League. Sanfrecce is in sixth place with 55 points in the league standings, and Machida is right ahead in fifth place with the same number of points. Here's our match prediction.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima had a date with China’s Shanghai Port FC in the AFC Champions League group stage on Tuesday. They salvaged a point in a 1-1 home draw.
Focus now turns to the league, where Sanfrecce have avoided defeat in five games. In their recent match, they beat Avispa Fukuoka 2-1 on the road. That result halted a three-match draw streak.
A return to their humble abode, the Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima currently sees them unbeaten in three games and will be confident of maintaining that run.
Machida Zelvia was also involved in the AFC Champions League group stage clash on Tuesday. They did not fail to impress, holding Malaysian giants Johor Darul Tazim FC to a goalless away draw.
Zelvia's priorities now shift to league action. Last time out, they beat Okayama 1-0 at home to end a four-match winless run that included three draws and a solitary defeat.
In unfamiliar territory, their performance has left much to be desired. They've navigated four matches without a win (D3, L1).
