Roasso Kumamoto
- Akinobu Yokouchi has been the architect of their resurgence since taking charge in June 2025 and his ability to adapt to both four and three-back systems, while controlling the width of the field, has created a platform for the team to build up their play while remaining a threat in transition.
- Roasso Kumamoto, who have been pressing well and playing at a high tempo under Takeshi Oki since February 2020, have 3 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses from 16 away trips in J2 League 2025, conceding 29 goals at a rate of 1.81 per game.

Betting Insights
- Both Teams to Score - 1.6 - is very short for two sides that are neither prolific scorers or particularly solid at the back.
- Montedio average 1.53 goals scored and 1.47 conceded at home, which suggests they have the intent to attack while also having defensive issues that Kumamoto can exploit.
- Montedio Yamagata to take all three points - 2.2 - is the bet that makes the most sense because of the superior recent form of the clubs, home advantage and the last seven months of head-to-head records.
- Roasso Kumamoto are a live underdog at 3.0 but the draw is also short enough at 3.35 to stay away from.
Prediction
- I am leaning towards a Montedio win because of the contrasting styles of the two teams, home field advantage and the fact that the Yamagata side have dominated the recent head-to-head.
- Montedio Yamagata to take all three points is the recommended outcome.
