[Rashin]

Kashima Antlers v Ventforet Kofu
Kashima must consider themselves lucky to again managed to get the points at Grampus as Keiji Tamada missed a late penalty. Kashima playing some really bad football currently, especially in the offence, I think Autuori's tactics doesnt suit them and they still miss their first choice keeper.

DF Biju back but MF Jun Uruno is doubtful and reports say that he prob wont play for Kofu. A great game to beat Frontale, but the sending off for Marcao was the turning point, Frontale dominated much of the match before the sent off.

I dont like how Kashima is playing now, they have a good team but Autuori's tactics doesnt suit them at all. He went for offensive game againts Hiroshima and he doesnt like letting in 3 goals, and for the last 2 games played defensive, the result, 0 goals scored and 3 goals let in againts Marinos. And they nearly lost againts Grampus but Tamada missed a penalty. Kofu's pressing style is gonna give a lot of problems to Kashima, Kofu has the potential to steal something from Ibaraki.
Ventforet Kofu(+3/4) 4/10 2.085

Avispa Fukuoka v Nagoya Grampus
Again Avispa took the lead twice and again they let in the equaliser againts JEF. And injuries are increasing with FW Glaucio, sub FW Kawashima and MF Nunobe out injured. I am not sure how good their replacements are yet.

Grampus was unlucky to not beat Kashima as they missed a late penalty. MF Kim Jung Woo suspended after being sent off againts Kashima.

Grampus played well againts Kashima and they might perform the same way here again. Avispa wants to get a win, but with those missings, it might be hard. Grampus is missing Kim Jung Woo but from the Kashima game, Yusuke Sudo was good enough to replace. In the 3 matches Avispa has lead first, I wonder if they can equalise when they are a goal down and with those missings, I like the away win. But just small stakes as Nagoya is still a team I dont trust much.
Nagoya Grampus(0) 3/10 1.98


Just small stakes, very tricky schedule.

[Rashin]

I suggest to not bet too much for this round of Jleague, if you think it's easy that's when Jleague will spring illogical results.

[GaNgStA kEeKs]

Nice stuff Rashin.

Working tonight but will only manage to catch the first halfs of the games but i will pair the two you mentioned in a double for interest.

Good luck

Jleague 2
For J2 odds just came out and I have 2 bets, sorry not much analysis cos I really am tired and need , in the morning, about 2-3 hours before kickoff.

Yokohama Flugels v Montedio Yamagata
Montedio Yamagata(+1/4) 5/10 2.00

Ehime FC v Consadole Sapporo
Consadole Sapporo(-1/4) 3/10 2.075

[prinze]

Best of Luck Rashin with your "tiny" bets, will be popping in later to see your mind clearer and confidence level higher after a good nights sleep........hahaha Cheers

Jleague 2

Yokohama Flugels v Montedio Yamagata
Flugels played a boring match againts Vortis, they let in a goal and pushed for a goal and they got it. They could have got the win if they bothered to keep pushing, but somehow they didnt.

Yamagata actually played a good game againts Sapporo but bad luck as Sapporo scored after the ball bounced off the bar into the net. And Yamagata even played better after letting in the goal, but just couldnt find a finish.

Even though I lost on Yamagata in the weekend, I still rate them well and definitely better than the Flugels. When a team cant get a win againts the Vortis, you know they have a problem with their offence and that is the Flugels. I dont think Yamagata will lose here.
Montedio Yamagata(+1/4) 5/10 2.00

Ehime FC v Consadole Sapporo
Ehime actually played well againts Verdy but maybe it was because Verdy didnt really play well at all. Ehime is a good team but still lacks in experience in this league, so it will take some time, maybe a year or two for them to actually challenge for promotion.

I must say Consadole actually plays much better without De Souza who is still suspended. And it seems that every year in the early season, Sapporo gets their points away from home as there are still lots of snow in Hokkaido.

Sapporo is definitely a better team than Ehime. Even though Ehime seems to manage to lose marginally againts Verdy, they dont really deserve it, Verdy was slacking a little. Againts Sapporo it wont be easy and I see a comfortable Sapporo win. But just small stakes as the draw is possible.
Consadole Sapporo(-1/4) 3/10 2.075

Hi Mate, just wondering what you think of the Urawa-Cerezo match. That seems to be the punters' favourite here (Urawa that is)

[Rashin]

Yes Urawa's the favs definitely, but well the odds arent really worth it and Urawa normally has problems againts Cerezo. After losing 3 in a row, I dont think Cerezo will just let Urawa win easily. Not worth a bet for me.

So i am no longer going to be on it Rashin. Will be following though

Mixed first halfs...

Nagoya 1-0 up while Ventforet are 1-0 down

[Rashin]

Holy F, Yamagata got a red card and Kazu Miura scored from penalty...Sapporo also 1 down, doesnt look like a good day.

[kompressaur]

sorry to hear that Rashin. good to see the j-league back. It doesnt seem like yesterday we were all hanging about for livescore. Here's to the weekend :cheers

[Rashin]

Kashima 3-1 Kofu
Avispa 0-1 Nagoya
Flugels 1-0 Yamagata - penalty red card
Ehime 2-1 Sapporo

Ventforet Kofu(+3/4) 4/10 2.085
Nagoya Grampus(0) 3/10 1.98
Montedio Yamagata(+1/4) 5/10 2.00
Consadole Sapporo(-1/4) 3/10 2.075

Midweek Total
-9.06

Really terrible midweek. Will be better in weekend.

As said, I totally suck in midweek

[Rashin]

I'm still pissed off

[Rashin]

My last bet hoping to salvage something from the screwed up day.
Be warned it might all just end in tears.

Kyoto Purple Sanga v Sanfreece Hiroshima
Again Paulinho scored a late goal but this time they got a point from not so confident Jubilo. Good thing for them is that FW ALEMAO is back to partner Paulinho in front which was the J2's top striking partnership last season.

Bad tackle got Dininho sent off againts Urawa, not a good thing when you play againts a side with strong offence. He'll be suspended here and will be a problem for the defence.

Sanfreece without Dininho will defend most of the time, they know the defence in weak, same case for Kyoto, they cant afford to go forward too much as Hiroshima FW Hisato Sato can punish them.

However I see Kyoto pushing for the win here at home with both Paulinho and Alemao able to score, while Hisato Sato should be able to get the goal for Sanfreece.
Over 2.75,Odds and Stakes depends on what you can get now.

It's an Over bet, someone get Mickey in here to wish me luck :drums
