Renofa Yamaguchi will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 3-0 J2 League loss in their previous game against V-Varen Nagasaki.

Masaru Kato (49'), Ken Tokura (58') and Keiji Tamada (87') scored for V-Varen Nagasaki.

An interesting theme in more recent Renofa Yamaguchi games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.
