In the last 6 meetings, 4 ended in draws (1-1, 1-1, 2-2, 0-1), and only one was one-sided: Kawasaki Frontale thrashed 5-3 in Aug 25. But this time Machida Zelvia are in red-hot form, scoring 13 and conceding 3 in 4 league games, while Kawasaki Frontale remain unbeaten but have drawn 3 of 4 (1-1, 2-2, 1-1). The home side should have slightly more possession, but Kawasaki Frontale's defense, which has conceded only 6 goals in 4 games, should keep the match tight and close. The first thing to watch is Machida Zelvia's opening play, as they have scored 18% of their total goals in the 1-15 minute period. If they break through early, the game will change instantly.
