The hosts have no problems with the squad.

Yokohama did not realize their ambitions in the championship and will certainly strive to win the League Cup, especially since the draw in the quarterfinals was more than favorable. Sapporo has improved in the championship recently, but there is still a lot of work ahead, the visitors may not have enough motivation in the League Cup, and there is a gap in class between the teams.

Yokohama will certainly try to secure a comfortable advantage in the home match before the return match and will obviously pay a lot of attention to the attack as usual.
