There are numerous tournaments people can bet on in an online casino Singapore. But one of the most well-known competitions that people Singaporean follow is the J1 League in Japan. The top flight of Japanese football features 18 teams, playing in a double round-robin format for 34 games. The tournament is currently halfway into its 2023 season, making it an ideal period for bettors to lock in their pick on who they think will win the league.
The battle at the top is proving to be an exciting one for this season, with the first and fifth-place teams only separated by 9 points. So, if you are looking to bet on the winner of J1 League 2023, here are the current favourites to win the trophy.
Yokohama F. Marinos
The reigning J1 League champions are looking strong at the top of the table as they look to record their second back-to-back championship since 2003-2004. The five-time league winners survived a tight battle for the title late into the season, winning the trophy with only 2 points separating them and 2021 champions Kawasaki Frontale.
With Kevin Muscat at the helm and Anderson Lopes leading the scorer’s table with 13 goals (as of writing), the Tricolour is looking to win their 6th J1 League trophy this year. They are sitting three points clear at the top of the league table with 39 points and 12 wins. With 1.75 Singapore Pools odds, the Marinos is the clear favourite to win the 2023 title.
Vissel Kobe
After a disastrous 2022 season and only finishing at 13th, the Ushi is now sitting 2nd at the league table and is looking to contend against the Marinos for their first trophy in club history. Even with captain Andres Iniesta leaving on July 1 due to lack of playing time, the team still have enough firepower to will their way to a possible title this year.
The team currently have 3.20 odds of winning J1 League 2023, with many followers expecting them to go all the way. They have a game at hand and are only three points behind Yokohama FM, making it highly possible to contend for the trophy. And with Yuya Osako and Yoshinori Muto leading the offence, Vissel Kobe might be up for their best J1 League finish ever.
Nagoya Grampus
The team from Aichi Prefecture is another team on the rise this season, especially after a fair 8th-place finish in 2022. The team’s gameplay in their first 18 matches looks solid, led by Australia goalkeeper Mitchell Langerak who already tallied 6 clean sheets. With only a few points separating them from the league leaders, Nagoya is looking to climb further and win their 2nd J1 League trophy.
Despite coming off a 0-2 loss against FC Tokyo (as of writing), the team is still at 3rd in the league table, a point below Vissel Kobe and three points above Cerezo Osaka. Danish forward Kasper Junker already has 9 goals in 17 appearances, helping the team challenge for the title. The club currently have 5.00 odds of winning it all.
Cerezo Osaka
After a solid 5th place finish last year, the Sakuras are looking to solid again this season. Cerezo Osaka is currently sitting in 4th place in the table, only a game below Nagoya and two points ahead of Urawa Red Diamonds. The arrival of Léo Ceará from the Marinos and Yang Han-been from Korean League side FC Seoul makes a difference for the club, giving them reliable players on both sides of the field.
And with many points still up for grabs, the players managed by Akio Kogiku will have a golden opportunity to win their first league title in club history. The team currently have 25.00 odds of winning this year’s J1 League.
Conclusion
With around 16 games left to play, the battle for the championship will get tighter in the coming weeks. The current top 4 in the table have a solid chance of winning it all, but one mistake can cost them their championship hopes for this season.
However, apart from the top 4, some other teams below them still have great chances of making a comeback and winning the title late in the season. This includes the Urawa Red (10.00 odds), Hiroshima (18.00 odds), Kashima (40.00 odds), and Kawasaki Frontale (35.00 odds).
