Match Preview 5th Sec : VS Omiya Ardija at City Light Stadium on April 1

Omiya Ardija was in division 1 last season and demoted to the lower league. Needless to say, Omiya is one of the top choices for the champion of division 2 along with Cerezo Osaka. Fagiano has never played against Ardija in the league because the visitors had always been in the top
league since 2005.

 

 

Omiya's key player is former Japan national team member, midfielder, Ienaga, however, he's been out of the matches since 2nd Sec because of his right knee injury at the opening match. So, he is not able to play at 5th Sec neither.

 

 

Ardija's young striker, Shimizu will probably be on the starting line-up as well as the 4th Sec. He was former Fagiano player on a loan deal. It seems that most Fagiano fans look forward to seeing him on the pitch on April 1.

 

 

The visitors now stay at 8th position of the league with 7 points as well as Okayama. At last sec, Omiya played at their home stadium against Sapporo in a tie, 1 - 1.
