If you need help to find the latest J League predictions ahead of the match between Yokohama and Saga Tosu, you're in the right place:
BTTS – No
Having landed in four of their last five matches, Yokohama have managed to move away from the bottom of the table thanks to a few narrow victories. They haven't completely fixed their problems, however, as two of those matches have ended in defeat with Yokohama getting on the scoresheet.
This bet has also landed in Sagan Tosu's last three away matches, and having drawn 0-0 the last time these two met, it looks likely this will be a close affair once more.
Under 2.5 Goals
In recent weeks, Yokohama have stopped their losing streak and have in fact won their last three home matches by a single goal. Their opponents, Sagan Tosu, have struggled to score themselves on the road of late, with a 0-0 draw against Avispa Fukuoka and a 1-0 defeat to Kawasaki Frontale.
Yokohama have scored the second least amount of goals in the J League this season, but have been more defensively resilient of late in front of their own fans, and so a low scoring match is our second prediction.

Yokohama vs Sagan Tosu Preview:
This looks to be a cagey match on Saturday morning, so let's take a better look at the teams ahead of their game:
Yokohama
With three wins from their last five, Yokohama are comfortably outperforming their league table position at present, and having conceded 33 goals in 15 matches, to concede just six in their last five has been a huge change in fortune.
Forward Koki Ogawa has scored 50% of their J League goals (six out of 12) and he's their most important player in the final third. However, Yokohama have coped without him, as he didn't feature in their J League victory over Kawasaki and their cup win over Hiroshima. However, it's expected he will return to lead the line against Sagan Tosu and Yokohama fans will have a lot of faith in their striker to add to his tally.
Yokohama Predicted Lineup:
Brodersen – Yoshino, Iwateke, Mateus Moraes – Yamane, Inoue, Wada, Hayashi – Yamashite, Hasegawa – Ogawa
Sagan Tosu
Sagan Tosu currently occupy 12th place in the J League and will be disappointed with how their campaign is playing out. However, a crucial three points away to Yokohama could elevate them to a much more respectable 8th place in the table, as they look to be back in the top half where they belong.
Forward Yuji Ono is their top goalscorer with four league goals, and he was on the scoresheet last time out in their 2-2 draw with Kashima at home.
Sagan Tosu Predicted Lineup:
Park – Naganuma, Tashiro, Yamazaki, Nakano – Moriya, Kawahara – Kikuchi, Tezuka, Iwasaki – Ono

Player to Watch: Shion Inoue
Yokohama's midfielder Shion Inoue was on the scoresheet in their famous 2-1 win over Kawasaki Frontale and the former Kobe man has been making an impact in recent weeks. Playing in the central midfield tole, the Japanese player has impressed as Yokohama have started to pick up valuable points as they move away from the relegation zone.
