Kawasaki Frontale vs Shandong Taishan Prediction & Betting Tips (20 February)

Shandong Taishan had gone ten games without a win on their top-flight travels, suffering seven defeats along the way, so there should definitely be a shortage of confidence in their ranks. Meanwhile, Kawasaki Frontale had secured 11 victories in 15 AFC Champions League matches on their own patch, which is pretty good going.

Shandong Taishan have made 15 trips at the top table of the AFC Champions League during the last campaign, with no fewer than 12 of these clashes serving up over 2.5 goals. What’s more, there has been a similar level of excitement in Kawasaki Frontale home matches in the AFC Champions League recently, with seven of the previous ten also delivering a minimum of three successful strikes.

For a club with such pedigree and ambition, Kawasaki Frontale possess a truly awful defensive record of late, failing to keep a clean sheet in eight consecutive AFC Champions League matches, as well as managing just two shutouts in 20 top-flight fixtures. As for Shandong Taishan, they have both scored and conceded in six of their last eight games at this elite level.
