Iwaki
DDLLWD
Iwaki enter this game coming off the back of a 2-2 J2 League drawn result against Renofa Yamaguchi.
For Iwaki, the goals were scored by Kaina Tanimura (15') and Hyun-woo Kim (68'). Ota Yamamoto (23') and Keita Yoshioka (90') scored for Renofa Yamaguchi.
Iwaki have not been the best at stopping their opponents lately, although they’ve also done enough to score goals themselves. Looking at their last 6 games, Iwaki have been punished defensively in 6 of them in addition to managing to get on the scoresheet in 5 of those matches. That trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, of course.
Kataller Toyama
DLLDLL 📉
Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Fujieda MYFC in J2 League competition, Kataller Toyama and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
Chie Edoojon Kawakami (63') was the scorer for Fujieda MYFC.
The stats tell the story, and Kataller Toyama have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, conceding 9 goals in total. At the back, Kataller Toyama could really do with shoring things up.
Heading into this fixture, Kataller Toyama are without a win away from home in their last 8 league matches. Who knows how long it might last, too.

Team News: Iwaki
There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Iwaki gaffer Yuzo Tamura to contend with from an otherwise complete squad. Rintaro Yamauchi (Knee medial ligament tear) will miss out.
🧠
Prediction
In our opinion, Kataller Toyama will likely be able to find the back of the net against this Iwaki outfit, although it probably shouldn’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.
Our selection here is for a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Iwaki when the full-time whistle blows. It’s a very tough call.
