The J League makes an ultra early start on Saturday morning

"The high-flying hosts have managed clean sheets in just 8/28 home games"

Back Both Teams to Score @ 1.804/5 in Sapporo v Shonan

The Lightning did strike in Finland yesterday as MuSa went to AC Oulu, won 2-1 and brought home our BTTS bet.

Today we're headed to Japan for one of Saturday morning's J League matches. Mihailo Petrovic's Sapporo are riding high in the league, despite a leaky defence, and we fancy lowly Shonan can grab a goal at the Sapporo Dome on Saturday morning.

The home side are second in the table, but have have conceded in each of their last three appearances on home turf - against the teams that currently make up the bottom three. Going back to the start of the 2018 season, in which they finished fourth, the hosts have managed clean sheets in just 8/28 home games. Against teams from the wrong half of the table, they've notched one clean sheet from seven attempts this term.

Right now Cho Kwi-jea's Shonan are down in 14th. They are the highest scorers among the bottom six, however. They have scored at least once in six of their last nine J League away games and we'll take 1.804/5 about Shonan helping us land another BTTS bet on this one.
