Albirex Niigata vs Shonan Bellmare Prediction & Betting Tips (14 September)

Shonan Bellmare may have been struggling somewhat on their own patch of late, but the Shonan Bellmare have endured no such difficulties on the road, collecting ten points from a possible 15. Having lost seven of their last nine home games at this level, Albirex Niigata can only dream of such impressive form, and it is easy to see why Albirex Niigata find themselves less better.

Albirex Niigata actually got off to an entertaining start when their coach picked up the managerial reins, but it is noticeable that nine of their last ten J1 League matches on home soil have produced three goals or fewer. What’s more, this has also been the case in eight of the last nine Shonan Bellmare away games at this elite domestic level.

The previous four Albirex Niigata home matches in the J1 League have produced an impressive total of 16 goals, with both teams on target in every single one of these encounters. Given that three of the most recent four Shonan Bellmare away games at the top table of the J1 League have followed the same pattern, any deviation from the script here would represent a surprise.
