Four unbeaten games proved insufficient to help the hosting outfit to better spots. They humbled Consadole Sapporo in the 4-1 intimidation but lost 0-1 to Fukuoka in a thrilling encounter that saw their efforts yield to nothing after the 22nd goal by Lukian.

Dropping points in recent games, the visitors charge toward the ambitious hosts who seem to have carved a two-game winning streak. In five games, they have drawn three and lost once, managing six points of fifteen available.

They should score in the game, but fans urge that they play with the nerve of a win, not just to avoid losing.
