🗞️ Team News: FC Tokyo

Kashif Bangnagande (Torn thigh muscle) and Yuta Arai (Cruciate ligament injury) will be missing for FC Tokyo boss Rikizo Matsuhashi.

In all likelihood, FC Tokyo should go for a 4-4-2 formation featuring Seung-Gyu Kim, Sei Muroya, Alexander Scholz, Masato Morishige, Yuto Nagatomo, Kein Sato, Kento Hashimoto, Kyota Tokiwa, Keita Endo, Marcelo Ryan and Ryunosuke Sato.

ℹ️ Team News: Tokyo Verdy

Tokyo Verdy manager Hiroshi Jofuku has to choose a team with limited availability. Hiroto Yamami (Cruciate ligament injury) and Taiju Yoshida (Meniscus injury) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that Tokyo Verdy seem likely to play in a 3-4-2-1 formation with a starting lineup of Yuya Nagasawa, Kaito Suzuki, Naoki Hayashi, Ryota Inoue, Yosuke Uchida, Rei Hirakawa, Koki Morita, Daiki Fukazawa, Yuan Matsuhashi, Issei Kumatoriya and Itsuki Someno.

💡 Prediction

We believe that FC Tokyo will probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

Conversely, Tokyo Verdy may well struggle to make a breakthrough but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be being dangerous at times, too.

We can therefore see a comfortable 3-1 victory for FC Tokyo at the conclusion of the game.
