In their previous game, the manager G. Nakamura led his Sendai to a defeat in the Japan Football League match away at TIAMO Hirakata. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Miyagi Grand Stadium A-Ground. Sony Sendai were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
