Match Preview 9th Sec : VS Montedio Yamagata at City Light Stadium on April 23

Last season,Yamagata finished at the bottom of the division 1 league, and suffered a demotion. It was obvious that the club's strength was not enough to remain in the top league. They had a disappointing term last year. 


This year, former Kyoto Sanga's ace attacker, Oguro joined Yamagata on a loan. He is a genuinely chance-taker and very experienced. He has scored two goals so far this season. He is obviously the one to watch out for.


On April 17, Montedio met Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo. During the match, Yamagata's young midfielder, Yuruki scored an opener to encourage his team. After the break, more possession belonged to Sapporo. In 59th minute, the game was equalized by the rival. As a result, the match ended in tie.


During the match, Okayama's defenders are required to mark Oguro very carefully. If they are successfully able to hold him, red-uniformed men are likely to be able to defeat the rival.
