Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Tokyo & Roasso Kumamoto face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Emperor Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

It's quite the trip for Roasso Kumamoto when visiting Tokyo as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.

The visiting Roasso Kumamoto played their last game only four days ago, a J2-League match. That game, against V-Varen Nagasaki, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Roasso Kumamoto.
