Match Preview
I’m venturing into the Japan’s top domestic league for this tip with a game that should produce goals. Albirex Niigata v Jubilo Iwata are two sides battling it out at the bottom of the league table. Just four points separate the teams with Jubilo in the relegation zone meaning this game is set to be an exciting six pointer. Both Teams to Score is my value tip for this game at 1.75.
Exciting Albirex
Albirex Niigata have had a solid goal scoring record this J-league campaign for a team who look to be in a relegation battle. They have scored on average 1.33 goals a game. Finding the back of the net 30 times in their 24 league games this season.
However, they have shown their defensive weaknesses as their league position suggests. The home side have conceded 37 goals averaging 1.54 a game, increasing to 1.82 when in front of their audience. They have seen BTTS in a whopping eight home games in a row.
Jubilo’s Season So Far
Jubilo Iwata are in trouble with only two wins in their last 10 league matches. Currently in the relegation zone, Jubilo will want a repeat of the last time they played Albirex where they won 2-0. A win for either team here will be huge in their hopes of J-League survival, a mere point each will not do much to help either side. Albirex Niigata v Jubilo Iwata is set to be a tense but lively game, Both Teams to Score is my top pick.
