Albirex Niigata vs Kawasaki Frontale Prediction & Betting Tips (9 October)

It would be fair to say that Kawasaki Frontale have been struggling on their top-flight travels of late, with their current run of 12 consecutive defeats forming part of a 13-match winless sequence. Albirex Niigata, meanwhile, have enjoyed 16 wins in 21 home games at this level of late, plus confidence should be high after starting the season with a victory.

Kawasaki Frontale won some games, but all 39 of their top-flight trips since then have produced three goals or fewer. Despite the wealth of attacking talent that they possess, it is interesting to note that Albirex Niigata have been involved in 24 consecutive the YBC Levain Cup matches containing under 3.5 goals.

The net tends to bulge at both ends when Kawasaki Frontale come calling in the YBC Levain Cup, with this being the case in 16 of their most recent 21 away matches, including in 1-1 and 2-2 draws against these opponents last season. Speaking of Albirex Niigata, 18 of their previous 21 top-flight home fixtures have also seen neither goalkeeper emerge with a clean sheet.
