Two lower-table J1 League teams meet in completely different states. Tokyo Verdy have just drawn 2-2 at home in the league, but before that they lost two in a row badly. Meanwhile Avispa Fukuoka have just lost 1-2 at home and have lost three in a row. Tokyo Verdy have not won a single league game all season, scoring only 6 goals from 11 matches, but the latest 2-2 draw is a sign that their attack is starting to return. As for Avispa Fukuoka, they have 7 points from 11 matches, winning only twice, and their defence is leaky enough when put under sustained pressure. This game is likely to be one where both sides are highly cautious, because points are hard to come by for both teams. Tokyo Verdy as the home side should be the ones with more possession and gradually open up the game, while Avispa Fukuoka should sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances. If the hosts play like they did in the latest match where they scored two goals, this game has a chance of ending with the home side avoiding defeat.
