There is just one fitness concern for the Kashiwa Reysol manager Nélsinho Baptista to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group. Wataru Iwashita (Metatarsal Fracture) will miss out. Takuma Ominami is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We are thinking that Kashiwa Reysol should employ a 3-4-2-1 formation for this one and select Masato Sasaki, Kengo Kitazume, Takumi Kamijima, Taiyo Koga, Matheus Savio, Hiromu Mitsumaru, Keiya Shiihashi, Dodi, Tomoya Koyamatsu, Mao Hosoya and Douglas.

We therefore see a hard-fought 0-1 winning score for Kawasaki Frontale when the full-time whistle blows.
