Thespa Kusatsu vs. Matsumoto Yamaga

Thespa Kusatsu is ranked #17 in the 22-team Japanese J2 League standings, saddled by an offense that has tallied 30 goals in 35 matches. They come off a 1-0 loss at Montedio Yamagata. The defense plays best at home picking up points in two of four home games in a 1-1 tie against Kyoto Sanga, a 0-0 DRAW with Zweigen Kanazawa, and just missing in a 1-0 loss to ninth-ranked JEF United. They catch a break here, facing Matsumoto Yamaga, the second-worst team in the league with a punchless offense (18 goals in 35 matches). The last two meetings between these rivals have been 1-0, and this will be another defensive duel. Play UNDER the total.
