Tokushima - Montedio Yamagata Prediction, Picks and Tips
"Semis" of the POs of promotion to the Japanese first division. In Tokushima they will face the Vortis that finished fourth against the sixth Montedio. Following a bit with the argument of last week I see the Vortis a little more favorite for its great form, for playing at home and for the format of these Play offs since it is worth winning or drawing to go to the final round against The first division team. This time the odds are a bit tighter giving more favoritism to the Vortis so instead of double we will seek his victory without a draw. The Vortis is the team of the Spanish Ricardo Rodriguez who has finished fourth in the J2. The other day he played a very serious game against Kofu, although he only tied almost at no time his pass was in danger since it was better, he was winning and he was tied and in the second part playing with 1 more for 40 minutes he dedicated himself to playing and playing to control the ball and let time pass.
It is necessary to emphasize its great state of form, it has only lost 1 match of the last 16 that is to say that in 15 we would have minimum the null. In fact at home he has only lost 4 games of 23 in the whole season and they are against the champion (Reysol) second classified (Yokohama) third (Omiya) and fifth (Kofu). He has won 13 of these 23 games he has played at home this season. Del Montedio although his victory in Saitama is very remarkable, winning the Omiya qualifying round, the truth is that the Omiya did not come very well since for many days it seemed that he was going to go up direct being second but the last days he played more than one game and fell to third place. His match was also very close and although he won 0-2 it was not decided until the last 20 minutes. Note that the Montedio did not come as well and got a miracle in the POs in fact for only one goal of difference in the general average since it tied points with the seventh.
He has lost 5 of his last 10 games and something very surprising is that he has conceded 10 goals in his last 5 games. They are symptoms that they are not at their best. In the h2h there is a bit of everything and it is not so remarkable. Obvious results of more than 10 years since they do not seem relevant and if the last seasons where the current level of both is more real. The truth is that in recent years the Montedio has failed to win in Tokushima in his last 6 visits although it is also true that there are 5 draws and only 1 victory of the Vortis. We are looking for the victory of Vortis on Sunday where it will almost certainly be a matched match but I see the home team a bit favorite. In case of a tie, the pick would be null.
