This is a game between two teams struggling at the bottom of the J1 League table. Both have 7 points from 12 matches and both need three points to escape the danger zone. JEF United just finished with a 2-2 draw, while Avispa Fukuoka just lost 1-3. JEF United are without a win in 5 straight matches, but drew 3 of those and scored in their last two. Avispa Fukuoka have lost 4 in a row, their defense is leaking badly and their attack is barely functioning. Both teams have a similar number of shots on target, around 4 per game from their last 10, but JEF United have slightly less possession (44.9% vs 45.2%). The pattern is likely to be a midfield battle where neither side dares to open up fully, because both know they cannot afford to lose. The first half may end level or with a single goal, but in the second half both teams will have to push and there is a chance the goal comes late in the game.
