Struggling Gifu will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Ryūkyū in the upcoming league round. It’s 21st vs 7th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Ryūkyū have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
