Albirex Niigata vs Kawasaki Frontale Prediction & Betting Tips (22 June)

This game has huge implications at both ends of the table, with Albirex Niigata battling to stay up and Kawasaki Frontale attempting to book a place in the playoffs. Although the two teams have very different ambitions, they each seem to love a draw, with the Albirex Niigata managing six in 12 fourth-tier home games and the Kawasaki Frontale securing a good place in the J1 League.

Five of the last six Albirex Niigata matches in the J1 League have served up two goals or more, so the promotion-chasing outfit have proven reasonably entertaining to watch in recent times. The same can be said of Kawasaki Frontale on their second-tier travels, as eight of their last ten encounters have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, so this clash is expected to deliver something similar.

Albirex Niigata are currently on a run of 11 consecutive top-flight fixtures in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes, so consistency has certainly not been lacking on this particular front. This has also been the case in five of the previous six Kawasaki Frontale matches at this level, meaning that clean sheets are likely to prove hard to come by.
