Shimizu S-Pulse welcome Mito Hollyhock at IAI Stadium Nihondaira, Shizuoka on Saturday, Apr 10 at 12:00 PM in a J1 League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Shimizu S-Pulse come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Mito Hollyhock travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Shimizu S-Pulse won their last outing, while Mito Hollyhock suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
In 6 previous meetings, Shimizu S-Pulse lead 2–0 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Shimizu S-Pulse a slight edge, but Mito Hollyhock are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
