Match Preview 34th Sec : VS Oita Trinita at City Light Stadium on September 27

At 2nd sec, Okayama beat Oita with 1 - 0. During the first half, Fagiano kept a clean sheet with a goal keeper, Nakabayashi's strenuous efforts. After the break, Oshitani made a brilliant decider, bringing a victory to Okayama.


This June, a head coach, Tasaka was removed from his post because of the club's poor performances. Instead, Yanagida now works as a head coach. This summer, former Fagiano's forward, Arata joined the team. He had played for Matsumoto Yamaga FC since the begining of this season.


At last sec, Oita defeated Giravanz Kitakyushu, decided by Trinita's forward, Isa. The club successfully got themselves out of the bottom of league. They obviously have momentum now. 


Oita have continued to fare poorly this term. Their priority is to avoid the demotion to the lower league. In order to stay in the division 2 next year, Fagiano must defeat the rival. It is expected that the match would be engaged in mortal combat.
