NextGOAL tip: Machida Zelvia (level) · 2 stars
Machida Zelvia returned from Asian cup duty with a 2-0 win in midweek and come into this match as the team that has not lost at all in the league across the last seven matches. This game is therefore a meeting of two teams very close to each other on the table. The home side scores consistently and concedes very few goals this season, while Kashiwa Reysol's form is clearly up and down, with both matches where they score three goals and matches where they go completely quiet. The away side's defence is the point that makes their game shape unstable. If the home side controls the rhythm as they have done all along, Kashiwa Reysol will have to work harder than usual to create chances, and that is the way this game should play out.
