Venue: Kanseki Stadium

National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Tochigi or Avispa Fukuoka that keep their silverware dream alive.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

These are hectic days for the host team, as they played only four days ago in the J2-League. This match was also played here at Kanseki Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Avispa Fukuoka have had more rest.

Avispa Fukuoka form and stats

Avispa Fukuoka's mission in Emperor Cup last season failed in the quarter-finals.

Avispa Fukuoka have only collected 9 points from their away games in the J-League, after 2-3-5 (10 played).

It's the second away game in a row for Avispa Fukuoka, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Shonan Bellmare last time out. Grolli, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.82. Grolli scored one goal and won 6 of 7 duels.

A home victory as expected against Gifu (after extra-time) preceding that, in the Emperor Cup.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Fukuoka manager Hasebe as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sagan Tosu.

The attacking power of Avispa Fukuoka when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. Avispa Fukuoka have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
