It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Kyoto Sanga boss Ichizo Nakata to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Juninho (Meniscus Damage) won’t play.

Yamaguchi manager Masahiro Shimoda has to currently contend with reduced team options. Sandro (Abdominal muscles injury), Kaito Oki (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Ryohei Yoshihama (Biceps femoris muscle injury) and Ren Komatsu (Adductor problems) will not be playing here.
