Shonan Bellmare vs Iwata Prediction & Betting Tips (14 July)

High-flying Shonan Bellmare have been in tremendous form on their own patch of late, securing six wins in eight matches, and they are unbeaten in seven top-flight fixtures against these opponents, winning three of the last four. Iwata, meanwhile, have found the going tough on their J1 League travels for quite some time, recording just three wins in 19 games.

Shonan Bellmare have become renowned for playing attractive, attacking football, so it comes as a surprise to see that 13 of their previous 13 top-flight home games have served up no more than three goals. Strangely enough, the figures are identical for Iwata on their J1 League travels during the same period, so don’t expect four goals plus.

Prior to facing Napoli and Udinese in the J1 League, Shonan Bellmare had been on a run in which they had both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes in 13 consecutive games. Ahead of their matches, Iwata were not far off that sort of pace either, as the net had bulged at both ends in 13 of their previous 16 games at this elite level.
