Match Preview 3rd Sec : VS Kyoto Sanga FC at City Light Stadium on March 13

Kyoto Sanga is the former division 1 club and seems powerful enough to compete for the playoffs, however, last season, the club ended up in the 17th place, disappointing their fans. This season, Sanga is likely to face difficulties because some of the main forces left the club.


This is the second year for the head coach, Ishimaru to work for the club. Before this season, the products of the club's youth team, Komai, Miyayoshi, Ito and Harakawa left the club. An Ace forward, Oguro joined Montedio Yamagata.


At the last sec, Kyoto faced FC Machida Zelvia in Machida. During the second half, Sanga stroke an opener, but they were not able to keep a clean sheet. As a result, the match ended in a tie.


This sec, it seems that new attackers, Akamine and Toyokawa are highly motivated to score the first goal as a Fagiano's man. For Fagiano,  because the match takes place at their home stadium, red-uniformed men are expected to bring a victory to their fans.
