THE PREDICTION

A 3-0 loss in midweek against Shimizu S-Pulse continued Tokyo’s comparatively high-scoring theme with 49 goals having come in their opening 16 matches. That average of just over three goals per game is a lot higher than the 2.41 that is across the whole league. They come up against a Sanfrecce Hiroshima side that sit firmly in mid-table with one defeat, two wins and two draws in their last five matches in an inconsistent campaign. They have also scored and conceded more than one goal per game so, given the aforementioned Tokyo record, both sides will fancy their chances of notching a goal in this one.
