Consadole Sapporo desperately need points on Saturday, Mar 27 at 12:00 PM in the J2 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Shonan Bellmare come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Consadole Sapporo travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Shonan Bellmare face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Consadole Sapporo have won 4 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Shonan Bellmare a slight edge, but Consadole Sapporo are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
