I have spoken much across the opening two rounds of the new season in Japan about one team that had come up from the second tier with some eye-catching numbers and the potential to do really well and hit the ground running, writing ahead of Matchday 1........
The new league starts next week and it feels like a good time to take an early look at who is likely to improve or take a backward step. I write often about J-League and the Bundesliga being the two leagues that lend themselves best to stats and 2021 JL-1 expected numbers certainly highlighted some good teams to follow/oppose last season.
