While they also come into this match following a recent defeat, they have a slightly better grasp on their attack with 12 goals scored and 12 conceded. Their recent match against Shonan Bellmare saw them shut out without a goal, underlining the inconsistency they need to address. However, they have shown resilience away from home, notching up important wins throughout the season.
