Sagan Tosu hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 36 points and a 14th position in the J-League table. Visiting Consadole Sapporo holds 8th place with 43 pts.
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.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Relegation threatens Sagan Tosu who should definitely be looking for some points here. Consadole Sapporo is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
