Jubilo vs Shonan Prediction
Jubilo Iwata are winless in their last four games across competitions in regulation time, drawing three. They have a two-goal deficit to overcome and need to score at least three unreplied goals to advance. This could be a tall order for the otherwise cagey Iwata who have scored more than once in 90 minutes in just one of their last four games. Furthermore, they will be aiming to eliminate a top-flight opposition in consecutive rounds.
Shonan Bellmare, for their part, tend to be involved in cagey fixtures and this defensive solidity could be key to their hopes of advancing to the semifinal. They have alternated between a win and loss in their last five away games and their fans will hope this trend continues having lost their most recent away game.
We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win and clean sheet.
