Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Kyoto Sanga & Kashiwa Reysol 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 no vacation for neither Kyoto Sanga nor Kashiwa Reysol 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.

Kyoto Sanga form and stats

1-0-0 (win-draw-lost) are the J-League numbers at home for Kyoto Sanga so far this season.

Kyoto Sanga's last game was hosting Urawa Reds and winning 1-0. Kamifukumoto, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.1 out of 10 in that game. Kamifukumoto topped it up with a clean sheet.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a J2-League home game that ended 0-0 versus Zweigen Kanazawa.

This is expected to be a close game, with Kyoto Sanga perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kyoto Sanga as a small favourite), we find five games. Kyoto Sanga has won one of these, drawn two and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kyoto as they are travelling to their away game against Cerezo Osaka in the J-League. That match is three days after this one.

Kyoto Sanga has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
