For Kashima I go straight win, For Kyoto I go AH 0

[darklights]

great picks~
i'll go for Jubilo TG3 OVER and Urawa reds -1.5

Sport	Football (Asia)
Event	Kofu vs Kashima Antlers
Selection	KASHIMA ANTLERS Win
Strength	10/10
Date	23/08/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Centrebet @ 1.77 (Back)
Reasoning	Kofu are in bad farm lately with them getting twice in a row, 4-0 and 5-1 in their away game. Moreover, Kofu are missing few important players in the form of their strikers which will affect them a lot in terms of their attacking force. Last meeting between them ended up 3-1 and I expect Kashima to repeat that again. Kashima is 5th and Kofu is 14th on the ladder, they are not far away from the #1 league leader in J-League, so I'm pretty sure they will want to win this one and be in the top 3. Last 2 J-League their opponents were class better than Kofu, the like of Jubilo and Urawa RD. And they are now against an opponent who are very much weaker and I'm pretty sure they won't let this opportunity slip away.

Sport	Football (Asia)
Event	Kyoto Purple Sanga v Cerezo Osaka
Selection	Kyoto Purple Sanga 0.0 (Asian Handicap)
Strength	5/10
Date	23/08/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 1.75 (Back)
Reasoning	This is the battle between the whipping boys of J-League but Cerezo is away, hence I have favoured Kyoto to win. Even though Cerezo win against Yokohama FM, but Kyoto also win a thriller against Fukuoka, and I'm pretty sure Kyoto PS will play their best tonight in front of home crowd and if they can win this match it will help them avoid relegation. Past meetings was a draw, hence I have taken the AH of 0 just incase that happen again. Not a very confident bet, but worth medium stake

[888]

Sport	Football (Asia)
Event	FC TOKYO v FUKUOKA
Selection	Win FC TOKYO
Strength	10/10
Date	23/08/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Centrebet @ 1.72 (Back)
Reasoning	This is the battle of middle table vs whipping boys of J-League. Fukuoka haven't win their last 5 games while Tokyo put a good show against JEF United winning 4 - 3 in another thriller where JEF was leading 2 - 0 and in fact it was stale at 3 - 3 before Tokyo put up the final blow and beat them. I'm guessing the momentum on the Tokyo dressing room is very high atm and they can't afford to match like this in front of their home crowd versing a poor Fukuoka. Their thriller last week had convinced me that they can score goals and win match, especially againts a side which is much weaker than JEF PLUS they are playing at home.

FC TOKYO vs AVISPA FUKUOKA

FC Tokyo replaced Alexandre Gallo with Hisao Kuramata as manager four days before there superb 4-3 away win against Ichihara which goes a long way to explain there sudden change in form. However, the time available to assess the players and work on combination play was limited to only three days and the new manager was obliged to, "select those players deemed to be in the best condition right now and the ones best able to put our aims into practice". Fujiyama appeared at right back to stabilise the defence while Lucas and Akamine played as twin strikers with Ishikawa and Baba on the flanks. Asari and Kajiyama played as double holding midfielders. The change of tactics and personal seemed to work well with FC Tokyo by far the better team. I can see them winning comfortably at home to Fukuoka who are sure to be downhearted after that devastating 5-4 home loss to fellow strugglers Kyoto Purple Sanga.

My Bet:
FC Tokyo (Home Win) 1.66 Bet365 5/10

There's not to much around to be honest. You can have a look on The Japan Times website.

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/soccer.html

Alternatively, You can have a look on the official J-League site:

http://www.j-league.or.jp/eng/

Not that much info on here, just past match reports etc which can sometimes be helpful. Your probably best to go to the Japanese version of the site and run it through AltaVista like I do, much more info that way:

http://www.j-league.or.jp/

The best way I've found to gather team news is by visiting the official team sites, it takes longer this way but is the only method I have found to find up to date news, obviously they are in Japanese but they do make sense most of the time if you run the site URL through Alta Vista http://babelfish.altavista.com/
