The club drew with Azul Claro (1:1) and Tegewaharo Miazaki (0:0), and also lost to Nara Club (1:2). It was only in the fourth round that the hosts celebrated Victoria for the first time, beating Sagamihara (2-0) on their own field.

Sagan Tosu

Current form
Sagan Tosu played in the elite Japanese division last season, but took the last place there and was relegated to the J2 League. It will be difficult to return back, as the start of the championship was not particularly successful for the guests. In the first round, the team suffered a major home defeat against Imabari (1-4), and then lost points in the confrontation with Iwaki (1-1). Only in the last two rounds the team managed to beat Omiya (1-0) and Toyama (1-0). This allowed the guests to rise to the 13th place in the championship.

1.73Tip and bets
The hosts are much inferior in class, and they didn't start the current season in the best way. The guests have recently played in the major league and are starting to come to their senses - they have already managed to win two consecutive victories in the J2 League. We believe that Sagan Tosu will start his performance in the league cup with a victory, besides, the opponent is quite passable.
Our betting tip is Sagan Tosu's victory in 2.03
Bet on the total
Both teams are playing very well defensively and have not conceded once in their last two matches. We believe that the opponents will play in a defensive style in the face-to-face confrontation, besides, the cup format does not forgive mistakes. Most likely, there won't be many goals in this match.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.55
Betting on corners
We believe that the teams in this match will rely on defense, so we are unlikely to get a lot of corners here. It is worth betting on a total of less in this indicator.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.85
