Shonan Bellmare vs Kyoto Prediction
Both sides are enmeshed in a relegation scrap and will be wary of dropping points to a direct rival for the drop. Shonan have alternated between a win and loss in their last four home games. Continuing this trend should see them claim victory following their loss to FC Tokyo.
Kyoto, for their part, have been on a relatively upward trajectory in recent weeks, having lost one of their last six games across competitions, winning twice. Bellmare have won three of their last four head-to-head games, but expect the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
