Montedio Yamagata - Chiba

      The hosts are in amazing form with no less than eight wins in a row in the league right now and they have climbed to 5th place, a play-off place right now. But still need to win this game to be sure of their play-off place, with Chiba right behind them just 2 points less, and there is another team out on score difference on 7th place right now also with 2 points less. But no problems as Montedio Yamagata won 2-0 and 1-0 their recent two home games with Chiba, also winning 3-2 and 3-1 on the road at Chiba. The hosts are defending well here at home and scoring goals and winning games both home and away from home, while Chiba got defeated last round 2-1 at V-Varen Nagasaki, and I do not rate their defending that great at all.
