There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

It's back home for Oita Trinita, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating ThespaKusatsu Gunma away with the result 1-0. Watanabe found the net in that victory.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Blaublitz Akita that ended 1-1.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Oita Trinita, as the J2-League home game vs Machida Zelvia is only four days away.
