This match features two teams living in the basement of the J2-League, ThespaKusatsu Gunma holding 21st place and Zweigen Kanazawa lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
