The hosts will know that their opponents are in a good bit of form themselves but will fancy their chances in this one, having beaten the visitors 2-0 in the reverse fixture less than two months ago. Kenta Kawai's side have recorded three wins, three draws and three losses in their nine matches at home and will be looking to prolong a three-match unbeaten run at the Ekimae Real Estate Stadium, which includes a win and back-to-back draws coming into this one. While they only managed nine wins across the entirety of last season, that victory over Shonan Bellmare was Sagan Tosu's seventh this term and saw them overtake Consadole Sapporo into eighth place with 26 points after 18 matches, now just nine points behind Nagoya Grampus in third. The midfielder stuck away his third of the afternoon by converting from the penalty spot in the 49th minute, while Yuki Horigome, Yuta Fujihara and Ryonosuke Kabayama all got onto the scoresheet in the second half as well.
