Yamagata are the surprise package in the j-league this season and they currently sit in sixth place. Albirex have really surprised everyone by storm this season from becoming a relegation struggler to a championship challenger. The main reason for Yamagata's success is their steady defence which have only shipped in 9 goals after 10 games and they really looked strong going foward too. Albirex have already got 3 high scoring draws this campaign and they mustbe furious with letting so many leading opportunites slip by.

This season, Yamagata havebeen stellarat home, not losing to any opposition yet. In the process they have alreadyfaced the likes of Kashima and Nagoya and they still remained strong. If this was Alberix at home, i would have favoured them but since they are away, I will go for a draw.
