Preview

Sanfrecce Hiroshima take on Kyoto Purple Sanga in the J-League of Japan on September 12. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:00 UTC.

Fans are eager for the showdown as Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Kyoto Purple Sanga renew their battle, 5 months after their previous J-League face-off that concluded in a 1-0 victory for Kyoto Purple Sanga. Coming off a loss to Vissel Kobe today, Sanfrecce Hiroshima look to make a statement in this match. Before facing Kyoto Purple Sanga, they will face Cerezo Osaka and Tokyo Verdy in J-League, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Kyoto Purple Sanga.

Kyoto Purple Sanga, in comparison, enter the match on a positive note, having secured two victories in a row against Tokyo Verdy and Nagoya Grampus Eight in their last two outings. Despite this, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last five away matches. Kyoto Purple Sanga have a challenging set of fixtures leading up to the match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima though, including Fagiano Okayama and F.C.Tokyo in J-League, and how they perform in these games could set the tone for their encounter with Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

This J-League clash features attacking talents who have defined the campaigns of Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Kyoto Purple Sanga. Sanfrecce Hiroshima’s attacking options, under the tactical direction of Michael Skibbe, have been bolstered by Sota Nakamura, the team’s top scorer, and Ryo Germain, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Nakamura has already scored four goals in J-League this season, while also being their most creative player, providing six assists in the league so far. Naoto Arai, Hayato Araki and Kosuke Kinoshita have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.

Meanwhile, Kyoto Purple Sanga’s top finisher Rafael Elias and Taichi Hara have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Kwi-Jea Cho, remains effective. Elias leads Kyoto Purple Sanga’s scoring charts in J-League this season with eleven goals, while Hara remains their top assist provider in the competition with eight. Supporting them are Masaya Okugawa, Marco Tulio and Sota Kawasaki, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Kyoto Purple Sanga’s attack.
