Reds have not won recent games including a shock defeat against J2 side, Ehime FC on Tuesday’s Emperor’s Cup 4th round which rested some starting members.
Also J2 side, Tokyo Verdy 1969 are favorable to clinch the title. They almost have been promoted to J1 next season as they have massive advantage with their goal differences but Consadole Sapporo are in the same point by 88 points and Kyoto Sanga are just three points behind the leader, Verdy.
