Kusatsu dropped out of the J-2 League last season and now plays in the third Japanese league, where it still occupies only 12th place out of 20. The team managed to score seven points in six matches. The team from Maebashi managed to start the season with a goalless draw with Ryukyu (0:0) and a home victory over Tochigi City (2:0), but then Masaru Okita's team began to lose. The hosts lost to Nagano Parceiro (2:3), Kagoshima United (2:5) and Nara Club (1:3), but they still managed to take points in the last home match, beating Tottori (2:0).

V-Varen Nagasaki

Current form
Varen Nagasaki continues to play in the J2 League, but is struggling to get a ticket to the top division. Last season, the visitors were extremely close to this, but in the end they took third place, only one point behind Yokohama. In the play-off matches, the guests lost heavily to Vegalta Sendai (1:4). Now the team is back in third place, having scored 14 points in six matches. So far, the Nagasaki team has not suffered a single defeat this season, and lost points only in meetings with Renofa Yamaguchi (2:2) and Vegalta Sendai (1:1).

The guests have won two of the last three victories with this score
5.50Bet At least one team won't score
This bet was played in three of the last five face-to-face matches.
1.95Tip and bets
The guests had a great start to the season in the second league and are aiming for the top division. The unbeaten streak has already reached six official matches, and the team will certainly try to perform well in the first round of the league cup. The hosts failed to surprise at the beginning of this year and remain in poor shape - the club from the third league has suffered three defeats in the last four meetings. We think that even on his own field Kusatsu will not be able to impose a fight on his opponent.
Our prediction is to win in-Varen Nagasaki in 1.60
Bet on the total
The teams will be fighting to reach the next stage, so you need to be careful, because any mistake can cost you relegation from the tournament. Most likely, the opponents will rely on defense, so do not expect high performance from this match.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals per 1.80
The first half bet
Varen Nagasaki unsuccessfully conducts the opening segments of matches. In four of the previous five matches, the team did not win in the first half. We think that even now the guests will not be able to take a break as a leader.
Our betting tip is that Kusatsu will not lose in the first half in 1.62
