You just need to know that after a dozen games into this season's J-league, Oita record is 1-1-10. It is a complete mystery how on earth a quality side like them can yet struggle so badly after so many games and there seem to be no answer to their frailties. It is now common to see them conceding 2-3 goals in each of their games and I would not be surprised if Hiroshima score a few past them early in the first half today, as the visitors have the capability of turning on the heat in front of goal when they are in the mood.

2-0, 3-1 and 2-1 have been popular scoreline defeats that Oita have suffered this season and against a young and versatile side like Hiroshima, this game certainly would not be the game whereby their fortunes will change and I can only sense an away win and at best, Oita will just nick a consolation goal towards the end of proceedings.
