Jubilo Iwata will welcome Kawasaki Frontale to the Yamaha Stadium for a J1 League matchday 22 fixture on Saturday. The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the debilitating 3-0 defeat they suffered away to Urawa Red Diamonds last weekend.
Hirokazu Ishihara, Ryoma Watanabe and Atsuki Ito all scored to inspire their side to a comfortable win.
Frontale, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Sanfrecce Hiroshima. They went ahead through Marcinho's 23rd-minute strike but Makoto Mitsuta drew the game level with two minutes left on the clock.
The stalemate left Azzurro Nero in 15th spot in the table, having garnered 23 points from 21 games. Iwata are level on points, one spot below.

Jubilo vs Kawasaki Frontale Prediction
Jubilo Iwata were roundly thrashed by Urawa last time out but they will relish a return to the familiarities of home comfort. Akinobu Yokouchi's side have won 14 of their 23 points this season in front of their fans.
Frontale, for their part, have struggled on their travels and have the joint-second-worst away record in the league. They have shown a penchant for shared points in recent weeks, with each of their last three league games ending in stalemates.
Goal difference is all that separates these two sides in the table and a keenly-contested game could be on the cards. We are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
