The numbers tell their own story, and Sanfrecce Hiroshima have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 7 goals overall. Defensively, Sanfrecce Hiroshima have clearly had some problems. It will be interesting to see if that trend can be continued on in this game.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima manager Michael Skibbe has to currently contend with reduced team options. Yotaro Nakajima (Knee injury) and Tolgay Arslan (Knee injury) won’t be making appearances.
Our thinking is that Fagiano Okayama will have to play well to register a score against this Sanfrecce Hiroshima side who we think should end up scoring and staying ahead.
