National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Kashiwa Reysol or Yamanashi Gakuin that keep their silverware dream alive.
Only a few days to rest for the team playing at home, as they were involved in a J-League fixture only four days earlier. Thankfully the previous game, versus Consadole Sapporo, was also a home game here at SANKYO FRONTIER Kashiwa Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Kashiwa Reysol form and stats
Last season, Kashiwa Reysol's Emperor Cup journey ended in the 4th round.Kashiwa Reysol's results here at SANKYO FRONTIER Kashiwa Stadium in the J-League have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
The Kashiwa fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at SANKYO FRONTIER Kashiwa Stadium: A 4-5 defeat against Consadole Sapporo. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Kashiwa Reysol's goalkeeper Matsumoto was extremely busy against Consadole Sapporo, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves. The attacking player Grot won the honour of being "man of the match" for Kashiwa Reysol with a rating of 6.84/10. Grot hit two key passes.
A J-League defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Kawasaki Frontale.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kashiwa Reysol as they are travelling to their away game against Yokohama F. Marinos in the J-League. That match is three days after this one.
The Kashiwa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Kashiwa Reysol defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
