Shonan Bellmare vs Sagan Tosu Lineups and Last Match
Shonan
Shonan Bellmare were away at Kashima Antlers for their last J-League fixture where one goal proved enough to decide the destination of all 3pts. Higuchi scored that goal in the 43rd-minute, to which the Shona Bellmare players could muster to reply. The visitors lost defender Okamoto in the 17th-minute to injury and he is likely to be replaced by Ishihara in the starting lineup on Saturday.
Predicted Lineup – Song (GK), Ohno, Ishihara, Oiwa, Tachi, Hata, Barada, Onose, Elyounoussi, Machino & Ohashi
Sagan
Sagan Tosu had the home advantage against Consadole Sapporo a little over a week ago but fell behind just before the break to a goal from Nakamura. Early in the second forty-five, an own goal from the very same player got Sagan Tosu back onto level terms and the hosts held on to secure a share of the spoils.
Predicted Lineup – Park (GK), Hwang, Yamazaki, Harada, Ono, Horigome, Naganuma, Tezuka, Kawahara, Kikuchi & Iwasaki

Player to Watch: Yoichi Naganuma
Sagan Tosu's top scorer this season is enjoying his best-ever season in the J-League.
Naganuma plays in midfield for Saturday's hosts and his best goals total in previous seasons was just two. The 2023 campaign has seen Naganuma score 5-goals so far and the 25-year-old has become a really important player for the mid-table side.
We've backed Sagan Tosu to come away with at least a point this weekend, against the odds, and we believe Naganuma will play a big role for the visitors.
