With their 21 point advantage in the league table, Tokyo Verdy fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Renofa Yamaguchi.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Renofa Yamaguchi have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The manager M. Shimoda was unhappy after their last game, a J2-League match played at their home ground Ishin Me-Life Stadium. Renofa Yamaguchi suffered a 0-1 loss to Avispa Fukuoka (placed 2nd). A 0-1 defeat away at Machida Zelvia before that.

A new game in only three days for Yamaguchi, the J2-League home match versus JEF United. Busy days.
