Gameday in Niigata for the round 37 between Albirex Niigata & Mito.

Albirex will be without Shinozuka.

On their side Mito is without their captain Ryo Niizato. Murata, Ozawa & Otoizumi are also injured.

Albirex is ranked 1 with 21 wins, 8 draws & 7 losses for 64 goals scored & 32 goals conceded.

Mito is ranked 12 with 12 wins, 10 draws & 10 losses for 40 goals scored & 37 goals conceded.

Very good value here on Albirex who is logically the big favorite to be promoted as they have a good advance already on Okayama but they just won yesterday so they are still in the race for the promotion.

Albirex has the best offense of the league and the best defense of the league while Mito has a very strong defense but their offense is very average.

Mito has nothing to play anymore even if mathematically there is still some chance to be in the top 6 but it will be impossible.

When they met this season Albirex won 0-3 and I rate them much stronger now as they have a better chemistry and providing a better football.

I expect 2-0 or 2-1.
