Sagan Tosu take on Ventforet Kofu in the J-League 2 of Japan on May 11. The game starts at 05:00 UTC.
As Sagan Tosu and Ventforet Kofu square off once more, the memory of Sagan Tosu's 1-3 win in their Emperor Cup match from 3 years ago still lingers. After a setback against Oita Trinita last Tuesday, Sagan Tosu are eager to get back on track in this match. Ahead of their clash with Ventforet Kofu, they must first take on Tokushima Vortis and JEF United Ichihara in J-League 2, and the outcomes of these games may heavily influence their preparations for Ventforet Kofu. Tightening up at the back might be their best chance to shift momentum, especially given the fact their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last three matches in a row.
Ventforet Kofu are entering this game after suffering a loss to Vegalta Sendai in the J-League 2 last Tuesday, currently in the midst of a five-game winless stretch.

Their defense has been solid lately, achieving three clean sheets in succession in away games.
