⭐ Editor's Pick
Sanfrecce Hiroshima's seven-match winning run is too significant to overlook - it is backed by strong recent form and reliability at both ends of the pitch from the opening weeks of the season. The hosts have been clinical in front of goal even against opponents with above-average defensive records. Their home numbers also stand out, with a high points return and a healthy goal difference. Kawasaki Frontale currently lack the consistency to trouble a side in this kind of form, and the visitors' recent instability supports a straightforward win for the favourites. The editor's main pick is a Sanfrecce Hiroshima victory.
