🗞️ Team News: Kashiwa Reysol

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Kashiwa Reysol boss Ricardo Rodríguez to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Daiki Sugioka (Hamstring injury) will miss out.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that Albirex Niigata will have to work hard as a team to find the net against this Kashiwa Reysol outfit who we think should score one, at least.

We’re therefore expecting a 1-0 win for Kashiwa Reysol at the end of the 90 minutes.

Should be interesting.
