๐ Team News: Kagoshima United
Almost everyone can be considered, as thereโs just the lone fitness concern for the Kagoshima United boss Yasuaki Oshima to be concerned with due to a largely intact set of players. Seiya Take (Broken ankle) will miss out. Shuto Nakahara is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
๐ฐ Team News: Tochigi S.C.
Owing to a completely injury-free group available to select from, the Tochigi S.C. boss Makoto Tanaka does not have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this match.
โก Prediction
We believe that Tochigi S.C. will surely be able to breach the defence of this Kagoshima United lineup, but that probably wonโt be enough to prevent defeat.
Our selection here is for a 2-1 victory for Kagoshima United by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Letโs just see how this one goes.
