This could be an interesting match as Renofa Yamaguchi have their presumed home advantage while Montedio Yamagata are ahead 20 points in the J2-League table.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Montedio Yamagata have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Renofa Yamaguchi are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Montedio Yamagata is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
