Mito Hollyhock are mired in a poor run of results in the J1 League, and this match they must face Sanfrecce Hiroshima, the 3rd-placed team still pushing for the top spots. The hosts' situation is fairly heavy, as they have lost 4 matches in a row and were recently thrashed at home by several goals a few matches ago. Mito Hollyhock have lost 4 matches in a row across league and cup, with the latest being a 1-3 defeat to their opponents in the cup competition, while Sanfrecce Hiroshima, despite losing 0-4 in the league in mid-month, came back to win 4-0 in the next match, and overall this season they have scored 29 goals from 12 matches. This game will likely see the hosts sit deep and wait to counter, while the visitors dominate possession and attack continuously. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how long Mito Hollyhock can handle Sanfrecce Hiroshima's attacking moves before conceding the first goal.
