Competition: Japan J2-League
Competition: Sat 10.October
Match begins: 05:00 (UTC)

An important duel in the bottom section of the J2-League, with both Montedio Yamagata and Ryūkyū experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 18th place.

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.

Ryūkyū have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
