There is just one fitness concern for the Machida Zelvia boss Go Kuroda to be concerned about due to a largely intact squad. Ryuho Kikuchi (Cartilage damage) won’t play.

📋 Team News: Tokyo Verdy

Tokyo Verdy boss Hiroshi Jofuku has a number of players out of action. Hiroto Yamami (Cruciate ligament injury) and Taiju Yoshida (Meniscus injury) are those who can’t be considered.

💭 Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that Tokyo Verdy will need things to go their way to put one past this Machida Zelvia side who we reckon should gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore seeing a good tussle with a 1-0 winning score for Machida Zelvia at full-time.

Looking forward to this.
