ℹ️ Team News: Júbilo Iwata
There is just a single fitness concern for the Júbilo Iwata manager Akinobu Yokouchi to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group. Riku Morioka (Fractured Foot) is out of contention. So Nakagawa cannot play in this game through suspension.
🗞️ Team News: Shimizu S-Pulse
Shimizu S-Pulse manager Zé Ricardo has a number of players out of action. Renato Augusto (Cartilage Damage), Sena Saito (Knee Injury), Hikaru Naruoka (Medial Collateral Ligament Injury) and Takumi Kato (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

Our assessment here is that Júbilo Iwata might well have a job on their hands to break down this Shimizu S-Pulse lineup who we think will likely win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We’re therefore anticipating a good battle with a 0-1 win for Shimizu S-Pulse when the referee blows for full-time.
