Tokyo Verdy host Avispa Fukuoka after slow league starts
With 27 games still to play, both clubs will be desperate to put early sluggishness behind them as 20th-placed Tokyo Verdy welcome 18th-placed Avispa Fukuoka.
Tokyo Verdy sit 20th on 5 points after 11 games and are still finding their feet this campaign. They enter this clash having gone winless in their last five outings (W0 D2 L3), but they should take encouragement from a resilient 2-2 draw away against Yokohama F. Marinos last time out, where they overturned a half-time deficit with a late equaliser.
Avispa Fukuoka sit 18th on 7 points after 11 games following their own slow start to the term. They have lost four of their last five fixtures (W1 D0 L4), including back-to-back defeats against Machida Zelvia (0-3) and Gamba Osaka (1-2), meaning momentum is firmly against them heading to the capital.
