This game is likely to be decided in the closing stages, as Shimizu S-Pulse have conceded 28% of their total goals in the 76-90 minute period, while FC Tokyo have scored 31% of their goals in the 31-45 minute period. However, the visitors' attack has recently shone in the latter stages, as seen in their 6-0 and 3-0 thrashings.
