The visiting Ryūkyū side should be favourites in this visit to JEF United, as the away team holds a 8 point advantage from their six league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither JEF United 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. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
JEF United form and stats
JEF United have played three home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.A good away victory last time out for JEF United, who won 1-0 against Avispa Fukuoka. Before that, JEF United drew at home versus Kyoto Sanga.
This is expected to be a close game, with JEF United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
