Hiroshima vs Okinawa SVPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Sanfrecce Hiroshima are unbeaten in their last five: a 1-1 draw with Kawasaki Frontale in their most recent game, preceded by four straight wins, including a resounding 4-1 away to Urawa and a 4-0 home win over Verspah Oita. Okinawa SV, by contrast, come in on a much harder run: they have lost four of their last five, shipping heavy defeats such as 0-6 away to Veertien Mie and 1-6 against Kyoto Sanga, and only broke the streak in the most recent round with a 2-1 win at Kitakyushu. In the only previous meeting between the two sides, back in July 2019, Sanfrecce Hiroshima won 4-0. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
