For my money J-L1 is the best or should I say most reliable league, you pretty much know how many games each season are going to end 1X2 and the number of goals that will be scored and even, when they are likely to come, all of which helps  !

 

 

 

Bit too early, with just nine rounds played, to get bogged down with stats in J-League, but we are averaging 2.62 goals per game and in terms of 1X2, we are running at 36%-21%-43%, so a "mean" fixture comes out to circa 2.78- 4.76- 2.32. Not much home advantage so far and leaders Antlers are 1-0-3 at the Kashima Soccer Stadium , which is hard to believe.
