It's square one in Regional Leagues: Promotion - the first match of the season. Read the full article and see how Tochigi City and Kariya did in their pre-season friendlies!
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.
Tochigi City form and stats
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Tochigi as they are travelling to their away game against Okinawa SV in the Regional Leagues: Promotion. That match is two days after this one.
Kariya form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Kariya as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 4 victories from 32 games, relegation was a fact. Kariya's manager are hoping to lead the team right back to Japan Football League at the first attempt.
The schedule is very tough for Kariya now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Regional Leagues: Promotion game at Urayasu is waiting in only two days.
Head 2 Head
This was the score when the participants played each other previously this season; Tochigi - Kariya 1-1.
