Competition: Japan J2-League
Competition: Wed 11.November
Match begins: 10:00 (UTC)
Venue: Level-5 stadium (22331 seats)

There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Avispa Fukuoka leading Ryūkyū by 26 points.

It's no vacation for neither Fukuoka nor Ryūkyū as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

These teams have little in common geographically as Ryūkyū have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Ryūkyū won their last game, 1-0 versus Renofa Yamaguchi played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Ventforet Kofu's place.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ryūkyū manager Y. Higuchi as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against V-Varen Nagasaki.
