It's no vacation for neither Omiya Ardija nor JEF United 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.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Oita Trinita.A tale of few goals? 9 of this side's latest 12 league matches have had two goals or less.
