Vegalta Sendai vs Tochigi SC Prediction & Betting Tips (29 June)

Vegalta Sendai have been cooking with gas on their own patch of late, winning eight and drawing one of their previous nine top-flight fixtures, not to mention outscoring their opponents by 15 goals to two along the way. Tochigi SC, on the other hand, have found the going tough on the road of late, losing four of their last five trips, including one at this venue.

With 15 of the previous 21 Vegalta Sendai matches at the venue in the J2 League serving up no more than a couple of goals. This has also been the case in ten of the most recent 15 top-flight fixtures featuring Tochigi SC, meaning that more of the same is expected when the two sides meet.

It has been quite an unusual experience to see Vegalta Sendai 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 Tochigi SC have produced goals at both ends, at least one of the two keepers should pitch a shutout here.
