Team News
Yokohama F.Marinos – no suspensions, GK Enomoto is facing a fitness test.
Sagan Tosu – no suspensions, MF Yeo out injured for the season, but no other injuries reported.

Head to Head – Tosu won the only meeting so far between these clubs, 1-0 at home, earlier this season.

Match Preview – There is a LOT riding on this match for both teams. If Sagan Tosu win it they claim an ACL place for 2013 in their maiden season in J1 – an astonishing feat, with a team of players who are exactly that – a team – no stars, no primadonnas, just a great team. Apart from long-term injury victim Yeo’s absence they have no selection problems and must be confident after four wins in-a-row coming into this game.

Yokohama F.Marinos also have a final chance – slim though it might be – to qualify for the ACL. Their goal difference is better than the teams around them, and equal to Tosu’s so, if they beat Tosu they go above them. Then they must pray that Res and Grampus draw against each other and Reysol are also stymied by Antlers. Not THAT impossible to consider, actually. Sagan have been average away from home (or they could have been challenging for the Championship today!), so EXPECT a WIN for YOKOHAMA F.MARINOS!
