Match Preview
Shonan Bellmare will host Kawasaki Frontale at the Shonan BMW Stadium Hiratsuka on September 23rd, in a crucial J-League clash. Shonan's recent form has been concerning, with just one point from their last five matches, leaving them struggling near the bottom of the table. In contrast, Kawasaki Frontale has shown signs of recovery, securing a vital win in their last outing after a string of mixed results.
Historically, this fixture has been closely contested, with Kawasaki holding a slight edge in their last ten encounters, winning four times away. However, Shonan has proven resilient at home, which could provide them with the motivation needed to turn their fortunes around. A key angle to consider is the trend of both teams scoring in six of their last ten meetings, suggesting that both sides may find the net once again. Given Shonan's pressing need for points and Kawasaki's attacking prowess, this match could yield an exciting contest with potential for goals on both ends.
