Shimizu S-Pulse desperately need points today at 11:30 AM in the J1 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Shimizu S-Pulse come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Avispa Fukuoka, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
History strongly favours Shimizu S-Pulse here — they've won 4 of 10 previous meetings against Avispa Fukuoka, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Shimizu S-Pulse a slight edge, but Avispa Fukuoka are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
