14:00 Consadole Sapporo v. Sanfrecce Hiroshima at Atsubetsu Stadium – More Misery for Sapporo!

Consadole Sapporo – FW Maeda out for approximately three months.

The teams last met four times in 2003 when Consadole gained one draw, and we saw three wins for Hiroshima.

Consadole Sapporo (P12 W1 D1 L10 GD -17) have had a dire start to their return to J1 and do not seem to be staying long. A long list of irritating injuries does not help the team, and now we can add FW Maeda to a list of players out injured. AND Jade North is on duty with Australia, as well as the team missing U19 internationals FW Sakaki and MF Arano – what’s left of this team will struggle to keep out a buoyant Sanfrecce Hiroshima (P12 W7 D1 L4 GD +9). The away team have been inconsistent over last five games with a W L W L W record in that time, but they should have no problem with Consadole! EXPECT a WIN for SANFRECCE HIROSHIMA!
