This is a J.League meeting between two sides with little to separate them. CheckLive has no favourite for this one, which tells you how close it looks, and a draw is a real possibility. Both teams will be keen to take something from the game.
Fagiano Okayama's recent results mix league games and friendlies: they beat V-Varen Nagasaki 1-0 and Metalist 1925, but lost to Cerezo Osaka, Schalke and Werder Bremen. Tokyo Verdy are winless in their last five, with defeats to Kashiwa Reysol, Gamba Osaka and Yokohama F. Marinos, plus draws against Kawasaki Frontale and Gamba Osaka.
The head-to-head is perfectly level: four wins each from eight meetings, with no draws. The last meeting went to Tokyo Verdy, who won 4-2. With Okayama's form inconsistent, the key is whether Verdy can tighten up after shipping six in one recent match, or whether Okayama's sharper spells prove decisive.
