Command Analysis

Albirex Niigata

Albirex Niigata is trying to escape the relegation zone, which is working out well. In the last two rounds, they managed to get four points thanks to a win over Cerezo Osaka (2:1) and a draw with Iwata (2:2). As a result, at the moment, the gap from the danger zone is one point, but the competition is very decent. In case of a defeat today to a direct competitor, the hosts will again be just one step away from relegation.

Kyoto Sanga FC

Kyoto has had a six-game unbeaten streak in the national championship, but this has not yet helped them leave the relegation zone. With 28 points, the team is in 18th place in the table. In the two previous rounds, Kyoto won against Iwata (2:1) and Nagoya (3:2). It is worth noting that the team performs better away than at home - 19 points against nine at home.

In their three previous lost games, Albirex Niigata had poor opening periods and were losing at the end of the first half. It is unlikely that anything will change today.
