From a largely healthy squad, there’s just the sole fitness issue for the Iwaki boss Yuzo Tamura to contend with. Haruki Shirai (Knee medial ligament tear) won’t be playing here.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes, with a good chance of a draw. Our tip is therefore for a very close game with a score draw at the end of this one.
