Sagan Tosu vs FC Tokyo tips and predictions

Hard to pick winner in J1 League clash; parity up for debate

There's not much between Sagan Tosu and FC Tokyo in the J1 League. The hosts are in 15th place with 4 points, compared to their opponents who are in seventh place on 8 points.

All outcomes are possible here which is why the draw is a genuine contender. You can expect this to be tight. A goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Solid on their own soil Sagan Tosu have conceded at an average of just 0.8 goals per game over their last 4 matches and FC Tokyo have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 games.

The match could unfold into a game of tiny margins with the two sides ultimately being well matched. It isn't a strong view and it won't be for everyone, but the No BTTS bet looks like the best play.

Sagan Tosu have drawn 6 of their last 12 matches on their own soil adding to the fact that FC Tokyo have drawn 2 of their last 4 matches on the road and while the prediction is for any deadlock, a scoreline of 0-0 might be a good shout here. It's not the most exciting thing you'll read today and it feels like a match to keep at arm's length. Stalemate beckons after what looks set to be a tightly contested match-up.
