Shimizu S-Pulse's last game in the Japan J1 League against Kashiwa Reysol at home ended in a 1-1 draw. They counterattacked for most of the game and were more dangerous. Shimizu S-Pulse scored before halftime in the 8th minute.

Kyoto Sanga's recent game against Kashiwa Reysol ended in a home 1-2 loss. Kyoto Purple Sanga had plenty of possession, but not so much in the final third of the pitch. Kyoto Sanga put in a decent first-half display and scored in the 7th minute.

So far, Shimizu S-Pulse plays better on the road than at home. They win 1.46 points per away game on average compared to 0.69 points at home. Although Shimizu S-Pulse is among the most solid home teams in the league, they are far from perfect. Their defence is not as good as expected with just 8% home clean sheets.

Kyoto Sanga has picked up 6 points from the previous six league games. They still have a lot to prove when playing away from home. Kyoto Sanga wins 0.92 points per away game, a bit less than their home record shows. To improve results, they have to be more compact in defence. Kyoto Sanga kept a clean sheet in just 8% of their visits.

It is not a surprise that the hosts stand out as a favourite to win this one. Shimizu S-Pulse is currently unbeaten at home in two games. Since the start of the season, they have just six home defeats.

Kyoto Purple Sanga failed to win in eight consecutive away games. It will be a big surprise to turn up on Saturday and win against Shimizu S-Pulse.

I am confident that the hosts will prove their worth and triumph with another home victory. Shimizu S-Pulse wins on average 0.69 points per home game, compared to 0.92 points per away game for Kyoto Sanga. My prediction is Shimizu S-Pulse to win.

4-1 FT



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

清水S-Pulse在日本J1联赛的最后一场比赛中主场迎战柏和雷索尔，最终以1比1战平。他们大部分时间都在反击，而且更加危险。第8分钟，清水S-Pulse在半场结束前进球。

京都桑加最近与柏华雷索尔的比赛以主场1-2输球告终。京都紫僧加有很多控球权，但在球场的最后三分之一没有那么多。京都桑加上半场表现不错，在第7分钟就进球了。

到目前为止，清水S-Pulse在客场的表现比在主场更好。他们客场平均每场赢1.46分，而主场则是0.69分。虽然清水S-Pulse是联盟中最稳固的主队之一，但他们远非完美。他们的防守并不像预期的那么好，只有8%的主场零封对手。

京都商社在之前的六场联赛中获得了6分。在客场比赛时，他们还有很多东西需要证明。京都商加每场客场比赛赢得0.92分，比他们的主场记录稍低。为了提高成绩，他们必须在防守上更加紧凑。京都商社只有8%的游客没有受伤。

东道主成为本届世界杯的夺冠热门也就不足为奇了。清水S-Pulse目前在主场的两场比赛中保持不败。自本赛季开始以来，他们只在主场输了6场。

京都紫僧加连续8场客场比赛失利。如果能在周六的比赛中战胜清水S-Pulse，那将会是一个很大的惊喜。

我相信东道主将证明他们的价值，用另一场主场胜利来赢得胜利。清水- S-Pulse在主场平均每场获胜0.69分，相比之下，京都桑加在客场平均每场获胜0.92分。我的预测是清水S-Pulse会赢。
