Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sagan Tosu & Tegevajaro Miyazaki face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Emperor Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Sagan nor Tegevajaro Miyazaki as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

In the match before that, Sagan hosted Kashima Antlers and drew the J-League game 2-2.The match schedule is unforgiving for Sagan Tosu as they have a new game in only three days, a J-League match thankfully also at home. Consadole Sapporo are visiting.
Sagan Tosu are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. Sagan have conceded 12 from these games.
Tegevajaro Miyazaki form and stats

Before that, Tegevajaro secured a home win against Grulla Morioka with the score 1-0.Tegevajaro Miyazaki have another match that requires travelling in just four sleeps, a J3-League fixture versus Sagamihara. A grim calendar for them!
