Kawasaki Frontale vs Consadole Sapporo
Kawasaki Frontale struggles to maintain the runner-up position of the Japanese League. Friday (6/14) they will appear on match day 15 against Consadole Sapporo as the host. The match opens at 5 WIB at Todoroki Athetics Stadium.
At present Kawasaki Frontale is still there with a score of 27 points, just a goal difference from Yokohama FC Marinos below and 3 points ahead of the next 3 participants. This situation occurred after last week they were held to a 1-1 draw by Urawa Reds who just scored the equalizer in the 95th minute.
On the positive side, the draw still extends the unbeaten period since May, now with 3 wins and 3 draws. The problem is, they have to reap maximum points if they don’t want to be kicked from second place.
To meet Consadole Sapporo we have to drop to number 7. The team rose to this position after a narrow win last week against Sanfrecce Hiroshima. This time Ryota Hayasaka became the hero of victory thanks to his single goal, although Lucas Fernandes was certain to miss tomorrow’s match due to a red card.
Sapporo’s Consadole will certainly try to keep the win because it became the first full point since May after only winning 3 draws and suffering 2 losses. The ideals are considered too early because the history of Kawasaki Frontale’s counter-meeting is still dominated by rivals with 5 wins and 1 series. In fact, the last visit to Todoroki in September last year was won by the hosts with a landslide score, 7-0.
Our Prediction: 1
Odds: 1.50
