Kashiwa Reysol will play in this match following on from a 0-0 J1 League drawn match versus Shimizu S-Pulse.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Kashiwa Reysol haven’t conceded. The reality is that Reysol have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals during that time.

Heading into this fixture, Kashiwa Reysol have not emerged victorious against Sagan Tosu in their last 2 league matches.

Previously, Sagan Tosu drew 1-1 in the J1 League tie with Consadole Sapporo.

The only player to score from Sagan Tosu was Tiago Alves (55'). Jay Bothroyd (63') was the scorer for Consadole Sapporo.

A run of reliable showings from the Sagan Tosu defence has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their previous 6 clashes overall. In that time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 7. We shall soon see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Sagan Tosu:

• haven't beaten Kashiwa Reysol when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
• have not been beaten by Kashiwa Reysol when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league games. A very good run of results for them.
• are unbeaten in their last 4 away league matches.

👥 Head to head

In an otherwise healthy squad, there is just the lone fitness worry for the Sagan Tosu boss Myung-Hwi Kim to be concerned with. Hideto Takahashi (Elbow Injury) misses out for this game.

⚡ Prediction

For this match, we think that Kashiwa Reysol are likely to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

Conversely, Sagan Tosu may well find it hard to score themselves but do we see them converting at least once.

We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 3-1 margin for Kashiwa Reysol at the end of the 90 minutes.
