This match features two teams living in the basement of the J-League, Shonan Bellmare holding 15th place and Consadole Sapporo lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as Consadole Sapporo have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Shonan Bellmare have collected 6 points from their J-League home games so far after 1-3-1. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Lemon Gas Stadium Hiratsuka, but a victory now would be sweet for Shonan Bellmare.
An away draw last time out for Bellmare, facing Shimizu S-Pulse in a game that ended 1-1. Before that, Bellmare played out a Nabisco Cup draw 1-1 when visiting Kashiwa Reysol.
Wellington was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Shimizu S-Pulse after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
