A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It's no vacation for neither Montedio Yamagata nor Tokyo Verdy 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.
