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

These teams have little in common geographically as V-Varen Nagasaki have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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.

Tokyo form and stats

Action has already taken place for Tokyo in Emperor Cup as they have defeated Fuji University to reach the 3rd Round. Tokyo was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the Emperor Cup.

The story so far in the J-League for Tokyo at their home stadium (transcosmos Stadium Nagasaki) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

The supporters are hoping that Tokyo will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Shonan Bellmare. Tokyo's goalkeeper Słowik was extremely busy against Shonan Bellmare, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Tokyo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 4.

The manager Puig will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sagan Tosu in only four days.

Tokyo has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. From these home matches, Tokyo have conceded only 4 goals.
