This could be an interesting match as Azul Claro Numazu have their presumed home advantage while Roasso Kumamoto are ahead 10 points in the J3-League table.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
