FC Tokyo and Mito Hollyhock meet in the J1 League, with the home side chasing a place high in the table while the visitors need points to escape the lower reaches of the standings. FC Tokyo come in on good league form, having won their latest league match 4-0 and unbeaten in their last two, but their attack still relies mainly on possession, averaging 5 shots on target per game over their last 10. Mito Hollyhock, meanwhile, have lost two league games in a row and are a side that sits deep and waits to counter, clearly seeing less of the ball than their opponents, but they also concede late often, with goals conceded in the 76-90 minute window accounting for 31% of all they have conceded. This game is likely to see FC Tokyo dominate possession and push forward, while Mito Hollyhock drop back to defend and wait for counter-attacking moments. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how quickly FC Tokyo can break down a deep-lying defence. If the home side are not sharp in attack, the game could drag on and finish with a narrow margin.
