Avispa Fukuoka

The club was founded in 1982. It, taking into account its history, spent only 10 seasons in the elite division of Japanese football, the J1 League. Avispa Fukuoka is the oldest football club in Japan that has never won a national tournament. The best achievement is the 8th place, which was taken in 2021.

This year, the team is still in the 8th position. “The Hornet” has got 45 points in 29 matches. The gap to the 3rd place, which gives the right to play in the Asian Champions League, is 5 points.

• Avispa Fukuoka has been exchanging the wins and the losses on the away field for 2 previous months.
• Avispa has never beaten Nagoya in the away confrontations in regulation time.

Prediction

Speaking about the first semi-final match, Avispa achieved a minimal victory due to a goal at the end of the first half of the game. The team from Fukuoka is considered to be the favourite in the struggle for the final, but Nagoya will definitely put up a fight in the home match. My bet is the success of the hosts with “a 0 goal handicap”.
