Matchday 12 in the J1 League kicks off with Sanfrecce playing host to Shimizu S-Pulse on Friday. La Viola are unbeaten at home this season, and our prediction is that they will extend that record with a victory in this match.
Sanfrecce will be looking to put last midweek’s shock defeat behind them here. They were comprehensively beaten by V-Varen Nagasaki 4-0 on the road.
That result brought an end to La Viola’s seven-match win streak across all competitions, and marked the first time they conceded a goal since their 3-2 defeat against Okayama in early September.
The hosts have the best home record in the division this season, with 13 points taken from their five games (W4 D1). They also have the best defensive home record (2 goals conceded).
Meanwhile, Shimizu S-Pulse also endured a dismal midweek, as they were put to the sword by Machida, losing 5-0 on their home patch.
S-Pa are now winless in their last three matches across all competitions, which included a 2-1 loss to Yokohama F. Marinos that sent them crashing out of the J.League Cup a couple of weeks ago.
The visitors have split their four away games this season, two wins and two defeats. They have not beaten their upcoming opponents at this venue since March 2022.
