Prediction :

 

Kawasaki Frontale wins the match

 

Kawasaki Frontale play host to Albirex Niigata at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium on matchday 15 in the J1 League. Frontale are in eighth place in the league standings, while Niigata are in 18th place. Here's our match prediction. 
 
Despite controlling 61% of ball possession, it wasn't enough to see Kawasaki Frontale avoid suffering a narrow 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Vissel Kobe on Saturday. 

Before that unfortunate result, Azzurro Nero had established itself as a force to be reckoned with, avoiding defeat in seven matches across all competitions. 

However, Shigetoshi Hasebe's charges have been presented with another opportunity to get back to the winning column and reignite their confidence in what will be their second successive home league game. At the Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium, they have lost just one of their last eight matches (W3, D4).

Their opponents, Albirex Niigata, are in the thick of a relegation dogfight. Third to bottom in the league standings, the visitors are one point adrift of safety.

Albi squandered a one-goal lead in their recent league game against Avispa Fukuoka and succumbed to a 3-2 defeat on the road. That result ended a two-match winning streak across all competitions. 

Returning to winning ways could turn out to be an arduous task, considering their poor league showing. They have two wins to their name in the last seven matches (D1, L4).
