This J1 League fixture pits 3rd against 5th, just two points apart. FC Tokyo and Kashiwa Reysol both need the three points to stay in the leading group, and both won their last match by the same 4-0 scoreline. FC Tokyo return home after a strong win in the league, but before that they lost at home in the cup 0-1. Kashiwa Reysol, meanwhile, have just lost in the league 1-3, though in the match before that they scored freely in both league and cup. The attacking play of both teams is therefore the point to watch. According to the expected line-ups, FC Tokyo are likely to set up with a midfield that controls the tempo, while Kashiwa Reysol have forwards ready to run into space behind the defence. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because both teams have attacks that score consistently, and judging by recent form, the side that scores first will likely keep the pressure on until the game has more than one goal. The first thing to watch after kick-off is FC Tokyo's pressing and how much it can force Kashiwa Reysol to build from the back.
