Competition: Japan J2-League

Match begins: 09:00 (UTC)
Venue: transcosmos Stadium Nagasaki (22407 seats)

This could be an interesting match as V-Varen Nagasaki have their presumed home advantage while Kashiwa Reysol are ahead 21 points in the J2-League table.

It's no vacation for neither V-Varen Nagasaki nor Kashiwa Reysol as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Kashiwa Reysol 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.
