Kawasaki Frontale hosts Oita Trinita in round 20 of Japanese J-League. The match will be played on Saturday, July 27th at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium (Kawasaki)
By the standards of Japan, Kawasaki is the top team. Frontale became champions in the last season, but as it usually happens in Japan, everything comes to nothing in the next season. The reigning champion failed to pass even the group stage of the Champions League, and it is only in fourth place in the championship. Herewith, home meetings are very problematic, and Frontale simply cannot score at the most crucial moments. After 10 home matches, Kawasaki has seven draws. At the same time, in the last home game, the team failed to beat even the main outsider - Sagan Tosu. Moreover, Torres and the company did not deliver a single shot on the opponent's goal! After that, Kawasaki played with Chelsea and won 1-0, but decide for yourself how seriously you can take it. Those who have seen the match between Barcelona and Chelsea should at least think about how important these results are.

Only three seasons ago, Oita played only in the third division, while hanging out in the middle of the standings at first. Now the team claims to be a medalist in the J-League. The team is sponsored by a local bank, but the club’s policy is as follows: focus on local players exclusively. There is one representative of Thailand among the Japanese. Oddly to say, but the team performs especially well in away matches. Trinita is on the second place in terms of the lost points, with only two away games lost. Those two defeats have happened recently. The defeat to FC Tokyo was the only one with a difference of more than one goal. Oita lost 3: 1, while the capital team scored the last goal already in added time. In the penultimate round, Oita played defense first but conceded after the 70th minute, which was very disappointing. In general, everything is very decent. On the eve of a confident victory in the Cup of Japan, Oita beat Sapporo in the hard home match.
In the first round, Kawasaki managed to bring three points from Kyushu, thanks to a goal scored in the first half. The game was absolutely equal, and the champions managed to convert one of the few attempts. It is difficult for Kawasaki to gain victories, and the visitors can cope with its onslaught.
Prediction for the match: Oita to win with +1.5 handicap
