Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Avispa Fukuoka & Tokyo face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Ybc Levain Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Tokyo, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.
There have been little to rest for the home team, as they had a J-League game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Vissel Kobe, so at least Avispa Fukuoka are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
