👉 Our prediction is: Kawasaki Frontale to win

Kawasaki Frontale vs Shimizu S-Pulse has all the makings of a competitive battle between two sides that are both eyeing an important win. But we are ever so slightly leaning toward Kawasaki Frontale to win on the 1X2 market.

Kawasaki Frontale will enjoy home advantage, which they have capitalised on with their strong form at home. They remain good value to win with their odds, and we expect them to pay out those odds with all three points at home.

👉 Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Our top tip for Kawasaki Frontale vs Shimizu S-Pulse is to take advantage of the corners market, particularly taking the over on 9.5 corners. There is good value to be had in that bet, which is priced at 1.59.

Both teams need to combine for at least 10 corners to win the bet, which may seem like a lot. But based on their statistical profile for this season, we expect them to easily clear that mark in their upcoming matchup.
