In this week 3 match on Mar 4th, Avispa Fukuoka will play host to Kashiwa Reysol in a J-League match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Avispa Fukuoka recorded a 2-1 win against Cerezo Osaka. Hiroyuki Mae scored the first goal for Avispa Fukuoka in the 47th minute, then in the 59th minute, S. Maikuma sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Satoki Uejo. Avispa Fukuoka is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Kashiwa Reysol recorded a 1-1 draw against Tokyo. Mao Hosoya struck first for Kashiwa Reysol in the 25th minute on a feed from Matheus Savio, then Adailton tied it up for Tokyo in the 36th minute on a feed from Koki Tsukagawa earning them at least the one point. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Mao Hosoya has been the most effective weapon for Kashiwa Reysol lately. The Japaneese attacker has netted two goals in his last 5 matches. Avispa Fukuoka’s top weapon lately has been Delgado Lloria, who has three goals in the last five matches.
