Struggling Tokyo Verdy will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Ryūkyū in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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.
It's quite the trip for Ryūkyū when visiting Tokyo Verdy as the cities are 2100 kilometers apart.
