Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo vs Kawasaki Frontale Match Preview

Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo is ranked at 9th place with 36 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. It's an average season for them so far, full of ups and downs, but the most important thing is that they have created some distance with the relegation zone and play without pressure.

With 33 goals they have a decent offensive side and in the last five matches, they have scored a total of six goals, averaging at least a goal per game. At home, they have done even better with 23 goals in 13 matches and are the 6th team with the best performance in terms of points.

Kawasaki Frontale, on the other hand, is ranked at 1st place with 63 points and is not in their best shape after two wins two draws, and a loss over the last five matches. Being winless in the last three games allowed their rivals to catch up and now the distance from the 2nd spot is just one point.

With 56 goals they have the second-best offensive side in the league, averaging more than two goals per game, and in the last five matches they have scored a total of five goals which is far from what we are used to seeing from them. Damiao with 14 goals and 8 assists alongside Kobayashi (9 goals - 2 assists) are expected to help the team make a turn now.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo plays at home ground and they scored in each of the last five h2h games between them. Kawasaki Frontale has been dominating the league until these last weeks but I expect them to be motivated to do well here and score a couple of goals as they have done during the season.
