Kashiwa Reysol vs Avispa Fukuoka Prediction

Kashiwa are on a run of back-to-back winless outings after winning each of their previous three matches. They have, however, lost just one of their last seven home matches and will fancy their chances ahead of Sunday's clash.

Fukuoka's latest result ended a three-game losing streak and they will now be looking to build on that come Sunday. They have, however, lost two of their last three away matches and could see defeat here as well.

Prediction: Kashiwa Reysol 3-1 Avispa Fukuoka
