● Kumamoto (16th in the league / Win-Loss-Win-Loss-Loss)
Mito's attacking power is less extreme compared to Kumamoto. However, Kumamoto tends to struggle against Mito. This is largely due to Kumamoto's style of play being quite short, which Mito can exploit by forming a block to intercept and counterattack. Kumamoto tends to leave behind spaces well, resulting in them being hit fairly hard by Mito's relatively simple attacks.

● Mito (17th in Japan's 2nd division / Loss-Draw-Draw-Win-Loss)
There is inconsistency in the attacking performance. They mostly use dribbling to break through opponents or engage in direct counterattacks. However, recently against Nagasaki and Sendai, Mito showed a good defensive influence by controlling goals conceded through central block formations, which could be seen as a positive aspect. Recently, against Kumamoto, they have had 2 wins and 1 draw in three matches, conceding only 1 goal.

➍ Match Dynamics & Recommended Bets
This matchup is expected to be under (2.5) with Mito winning. Kumamoto's ability to form a central block to stop plays is quite good, and Mito's simple offense has proved to be a very good option when targeting Kumamoto's spaces behind. Recent records also suggest that Kumamoto has been struggling, and Mito's central block's effectiveness has limited their attacks.
