Emerson Deocleciano (Leg injury), Taisei Abe (Metatarsal fracture) and Tsubasa Kasayanagi (Foot injury) are not available for V-Varen Nagasaki manager Takahiro Shimotaira.
⚡ Prediction
In our opinion, V-Varen Nagasaki have it within them to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.
However, Iwaki might well find it a difficult task to score a goal of their own although we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.
We reckon that it will be a controlled 3-1 margin for V-Varen Nagasaki at the end of the match.
