Renato Augusto (Hamstring injury), Yukito Murakami (Metatarsal fracture) and Riku Nakayama (Hamstring injury) won’t be able to feature for Ventforet Kofu boss Shinji Otsuka.

Thanks to a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Machida Zelvia boss Go Kuroda to be concerned with. Takumi Narasaka (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out for this game.

🔮 Prediction

In our opinion, Ventforet Kofu will surely be able to get a goal against this Machida Zelvia lineup, but one goal is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We are therefore anticipating a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 winning score for Machida Zelvia when the full-time whistle blows. Should be a good one.
