This match features two teams living in the basement of the J2-League, Omiya Ardija holding 16th place and Ryūkyū lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Omiya Ardija and Ryūkyū should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

It's quite the trip for Ryūkyū when visiting Ardija as the cities are 2100 kilometers apart.
