National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Shonan Bellmare or Kashiwa Reysol that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the J-League.
Shonan Bellmare form and stats
Last season their Ybc Levain Cup adventure ended in the group stage.Shonan Bellmare have collected 0 points from their J-League home games so far after 0-0-1.
Shonan Bellmare's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Urawa Reds. Ahead of that match, Shonan Bellmare won a home game hosting Oita Trinita (1-0).
The penalty miss from T. Elyounoussi in the defeat against Urawa Reds was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
Shonan Bellmare are traveling soon after this match as the J-League match at Nagoya Grampus awaits in three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Shonan Bellmare at home in the league. 2 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Kashiwa Reysol form and stats
Kashiwa Reysol's mission in Ybc Levain Cup last season failed in the group stage.The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Kashiwa Reysol hope to make it five in this match.
Kashiwa Reysol go into this game after a win, the home game against Consadole Sapporo that ended 4-2. Preceding that game was the away Ybc Levain Cup victory against Gamba Osaka with the score of 1-0.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Consadole Sapporo was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kashiwa Reysol manager N. Baptista Júnior as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Yokohama.
