Consadole Sapporo get ready to welcome Tokyo for something different than the ordinary league football: The Ybc Levain Cup Quarter-finals leg 1 of 2.

It's no vacation for neither Consadole Sapporo nor Tokyo 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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Tokyo have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

This match is a Ybc Levain Cup match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in this competition. The Consadole Sapporo manager M.

Consadole Sapporo's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Kawasaki Frontale. Akito Fukumori, defender, was given a rating of 7.4/10 in that game, top of the team. Fukumori hit three key passes and won 5 of 7 duels.

Tokyo form and stats

Nothing but glory last season for Tokyo, as they won the Ybc Levain Cup.

6 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Tokyo playing as the away team in the J-League this season. Total Ybc Levain Cup statistics for Tokyo: 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Tokyo are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Two travels in a row for Tokyo, whose manager K. Hasegawa could celebrate last time after the J-League win against Vissel Kobe. Go Hatano was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.82. The agile goalkeeper Hatano stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
