Match week two of the J-League campaign and the teams have digested the first fixture. Here's our Consadole Sapporo - Sanfrecce Hiroshima pre-match guide:

Sanfrecce Hiroshima have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

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.
