Kanazawa vs Yamaga tips and predictions

Kanazawa to seal the win

With 27 points Kanazawa host 26-point Yamaga. There's just 2 positions separating these two.

Perhaps have another look if you think this match is a formality. The inclination is towards the home win but this won't be for the feint-hearted. On paper at least, they can win this.

Make of it what you will but Kanazawa might have reasons to be confident about adding to Yamaga's woes. Defeats have gradually been stacking up for this away squad over their last 17 fixtures. They've lost 11 of them. Obviously they've been up against different opposition but that doesn't sound like the record of a team that will be confident about winning this.

This home squad is enjoying some form on their own patch. Kanazawa have scored at least once in 15 of their recent 20 home matches and at the back they have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 7 home games.

Yamaga have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 4 matches. Their harsher critics will say all is not well. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes been poor. They've been goalless in 10 of their last 13 matches.

Don't be surprised to see these sides ending up with honours even though. The match could develop into a war of attrition with the two sides ultimately proving fairly even. In which case the BTTS No bet is the most compelling side bet.
