Jubilo Iwata vs Consadole Sapporo

Probable lineups. Jubilo Iwata: Hatta, Komano, Fujita, Byung Kuk Cho, Miyazaki, Suganuma, Yamamoto, Kobayashi, Yamada, Maeda, Yamazaki. Consadole Sapporo: Sugiyama, Okayama, Hidaka, Iwanuma, Nara, Kawai, Yamamoto, Sunakawa, Okamoto, Furuta, Uchimura.

 

Consadole Sapporo was promoted after the previous season in Second Division but it is obvious that J League is not for them so far. In 17 rounds they suffered 15 losses with a terrible goal differnce of 10-38. These are the worst numbers in both offense and defense. Also Consadole Sapporo lost all 8 matches on the road with two goal difference on average so no surprises is expected in the match against Jubilo Iwata, the team that stands 6th in J League and even can reach Top3 if they win. Jubilo Iwata won six from eight at home this season averaging more than two goals per game and at the same time playing solid in defense. Consadole Sapporo is the team with small budget, players only from Japan and they are in much lower level comparing to Iwata so I predict a big win for home side here.
