This could be an interesting match as Grulla Morioka have their presumed home advantage while Giravanz Kitakyushu are ahead 5 points in the J3-League table.

It's no vacation for neither Grulla Morioka nor Giravanz Kitakyushu 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.

Giravanz Kitakyushu have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
