Kashiwa Reysol v FC Tokyo Tips

Kashiwa Reysol were 3-2 winners in this fixture last season and I predict they'll claim all three points again here while they sit in 2nd place, currently unbeaten in 14 league fixtures versus sides in 9th and below as the table stands. That record includes 10 wins overall, with 4 coming on home soil during that time. FC Tokyo (16th) have managed back-to-back wins going into today, but both come against bottom three sides, and outside of that they've lost their last 3 away trips in a row. The visitors also have a poor record against the sides above them in the table, particularly away from home, where they've remained winless in 8 away trips now, including 6 defeats.

Kashiwa Reysol and FC Tokyo drew in 3 of their last 5 JLeague matches. Both won in 2 of their last 3 matches in this competition. I expect a draw for them.

Tokyo is a big price for a win here, but it's one I'm going for as they've won two in a row, including a 3-0 win over Yokohama in their last away game.

Kashiwa Reysol drew 3-3 with Kyoto in their most recent home game. In five of Kashiwa’s last seven league and cup matches, more than 2.5 goals were scored. Tokyo scored 3 goals in their last away game against Yokohama Marinos. The last time these two teams met on this ground, five goals were scored, with Kashiwa winning 3-2.

Three of the last five league meetings between these teams ended in under 2.5 goals. Kashiwa Reysol saw two of their last four matches in all competitions end in under 2.5 goals.

FC Tokyo’s consistent scoring and Kashiwa Reysol’s attacking play make it highly likely both teams will find the net. Defensive lapses on both sides further support this prediction.
