Okayama vs Kusatsu Prediction & Betting Tips (22 June)

It would be somewhat of an understatement to say that Okayama have been in impressive form on their own patch of late, with maximum points being collected 17 times out of 20. Kusatsu, by way of contrast, have suffered 15 defeats in their previous 21 away matches at this level, with their most recent loss on the road coming in this fixture back this year.

Okayama had featured in 15 away games out of 21 in J2 League containing two goals or fewer, so achieving consistency had not proven too challenging in this area. For their part, Kusatsu have not been pulling up too many trees in terms of excitement on their own patch either, with nine of their last 12 matches producing under 2.5 goals.

It has been quite an unusual experience to see Okayama both score and concede during the same 91 minutes in a J2 League fixture recently, with this happening just three times out of a possible 11. Given that only six of the previous 21 top-flight games involving Kusatsu have produced goals at both ends, at least one of the two keepers should pitch a shutout here.
