J-League: July 12th / 13th picks

[blackcrow]

Shimizu S-Pulse
Shimizu S-Pulse have won 5 of their last 6 game at home, scoring 14 and conceding 4 while Vissel Kobe have only 1 away win in their last 6 as they have scored only 4 goals in those games. Shimizu S-Pulse has also beaten Vissel Kobe in their last 2 corresponding fixtures and know a win here will leap frog them over their opponents

Tokyo Verdy
Tokyo Verdy have 4 of their last home 6 games scoring 14 goals and conceding 9 while Kyoto Purple Sanga have only 1 draw from their 6 away games, scoring 2 and conceding 8 goals. A win for Tokyo puts them on the fringe of the leading pack while Kyoto are struggling down in the relegation zone.
