11:00 Avispa Fukuoka – Iwata Jubilo

11 games to be played in the Japanese 2nd division. One of them is this match between Avispa Fukuoka and Jubilo Iwata. I pick the BTS option.

These are two sides that have had similar results these past few games in my mind. Away team are 2nd, though some distance from 1st place Omiya Ardija. They've won 3 and lost 2 of the last 6, coming off an interesting 3-3 draw last time out. Home team are not so far in 5th, and have 2 wins and 1 losses within the same span of games. What I also notice is their goal differences during this span, which is presented thus:
Jubilo Iwata – 3-1-2 (W/L) ; 8/7 (goals scored/against).
Avispa Fukuoka – 2-3-1 (W/L); 7/7 (goals scored/against).

What this explains is that while these are two sides that clearly like to score, they often don't cover for this defensively. The 3-3 draw I mentioned earlier highlights this. Also, away side are favorites but H2H favors home side who I think should get at least a goal. I wish you all success.
