Kawasaki Frontale has been lackluster in recent outings, and their poor form almost cost them dearly in the previous game against Kochi United. Despite their subpar performance, they managed to steal a win, but their lack of quality was criticized by many. They now face Albirex Niigata and cannot afford to repeat the same mistakes if they hope to progress to the next round.
Albirex Niigata (14th)
Albirex Niigata is determined to prove a point against their opponents and keep their cup ambitions alive. They are the slight favorites in this matchup and will be looking to secure a decisive victory. Although they struggled in their last game against Machida Zelvia, they came out on top with a narrow 1-0 win. A victory here will see them advance to the next stage, but a defeat will spell the end of their cup dreams.
