With five matches still to play, Kyoto Sanga are well in contention for the Japanese J1 League title. Sitting second, they will next be up against the second from the bottom side, Shonan Bellmare. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Hosts Shonan are deep in the relegation mire, after managing just six wins in their 33 league matches. They are six points adrift of safety, and with every passing game, they seem destined for relegation.
The 1-0 loss to fellow strugglers Verdy in their last match could turn costly in the coming weeks, as Verdy opened a 14-point gap. Shonan haven't won any of their last six matches, losing all, five of them being league games.
Kyoto’s past few matches have been shaky. The team won just one of their last five, banking six points from a possible 15. This has really hampered their title chase, and they trail the league leaders by five points.
A first league title is quite some distance away, with 15 points still to play for. Three points here should be easy pickings, with Kyoto having won the last two matches against Shonan. Those wins came with clean sheets as well.
One area the visitors have done well in recent times is on the road. They come here with three wins in their last four away league matches.
