When: 12:00
Where: Japanese League Cup Quarterfinal

Senan Belmare
Senan Belmare is currently in a difficult situation and fighting against relegation in the J1 League. The team has hardly convinced during the current season and recently showed clear defeats, including 1:4 and 0:2. At home, Senan will do everything to upset the favorite and at least offer the fans positive experiences in this cup competition. On average, Senan scores about 1.2 goals per game.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima
Sanfrecce Hiroshima also has a mixed season, but remains a sufficiently strong team that is now focusing on the League Cup. With an average of two goals per game and recently several big wins scoring three to four goals, they are offensively significantly more dangerous. The team is motivated to succeed in the cup, although reaching the top positions in the league is probably no longer possible.

Injuries
There is no specific information on injuries, so it can be assumed that Sanfrecce Hiroshima can line up almost at full strength.

Head-to-Head
In recent direct encounters, both teams have shared victories; however, Sanfrecce Hiroshima has often come out narrowly ahead and usually won by one to two goals difference.

Match Prediction
Since Sanfrecce Hiroshima has shown strong offensive power and is in excellent form, they are expected to create plenty of scoring opportunities. At the same time, the home side has proven that, despite defensive weaknesses, they are capable of finding the net. Therefore, we expect goals from both sides in this match.

My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.93)

Yokohama Marinos
Yokohama Marinos are at the bottom of the table and are fighting against relegation. The team shows weaknesses in both offense and defense, which negatively affects their performance.

Kashiwa Reysol
Kashiwa Reysol presents itself as a stable and strong team, currently standing in second place in the J1 League and ambitiously aiming for the championship title. They enter the quarterfinals of the League Cup as clear favorites.

Injuries
No specific information on injuries available.

Head-to-Head
In recent encounters, Kashiwa Reysol dominated with wins of 1-0 and 2-0, underlining the team’s favorite role.

Match Prediction
Considering the attacking strength of both sides and their recent tendency to score regularly, we can expect an open and entertaining match. Both Kashiwa Reysol and their opponent have enough offensive potential to produce multiple goals. Therefore, we anticipate a goal-rich game.

My Tip: Over 2.5 goals (1.78)

When: 14:00
Where: PARI League

Enisey
Enisey showed a solid performance in their last match. In the home game against Sokol Saratov, they dominated at times and scored a goal in the 38th minute, winning the game 1-0. The team appears strong at home and often controls the ball.

Shinnik
Shinnik also narrowly won their last game 1-0 against Chernomorets Novorossiysk. The opponent had more ball possession and chances in the first half, but Shinnik managed to prevail in the end. The team showed fighting spirit and was effective in finishing.

Injuries
No specific injury information has been provided.

Head-to-Head
The last encounter between Enisey and Shinnik ended goalless (0-0). The teams appear evenly matched and a balanced game is expected.

Match Prediction
Both teams demonstrate stable defensive performances and are not known for high-scoring matches against each other. Based on current form and previous meetings, the game is expected to be close and tactically oriented. Therefore, the bet Under 2.5 Goals with odds of 1.50 is recommended as a safe option.

My tip: Under 2.5 Goals (1.50)

When: 17:00
Where: FNL

Sokol
Sokol finished last season in 16th place and was actually relegated directly from the second Russian league (FNL). Due to circumstances, however, the club remained in the league. So far, there have been no wins at the start of the season, only three goals scored, and the team is again in the relegation zone. Although Sokol improved somewhat at the end of the previous season with three wins in the last five games, overall the offensive performance with only 25 goals in 34 matches remained one of the weakest in the league.

KAMAZ
KAMAZ, on the other hand, shows strong form and is currently among the top 4 in the league. Noteworthy is their significant home strength – while only two wins were achieved in 17 away games and just ten goals scored, the team earned almost three times as many points at home. This year, KAMAZ managed to score in all seven games, although some goals were also conceded. The streak of at least one goal in eleven consecutive matches underlines their offensive qualities.

Injuries
No concrete information about injuries is available.

Head-to-head
Historically, the direct confrontations are rather balanced, but the current form of the teams is decisive.

Prediction for the match
Given Sokol’s weak offense and KAMAZ’s fairly balanced but consistent goal scoring, the game will likely produce few goals. KAMAZ will probably score at least once, but a clear victory is not guaranteed since the visitors have problems away from home. Therefore, the bet on under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.33 is highly recommended. The game could prove to be tough with few goal attempts on both sides.

My tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.33)
