Kashiwa Reysol will host Yokohama F. Marinos in a matchday 21 fixture in the J1 League on Saturday.
The home side picked up a thrilling 4-2 away victory over Shonan Belmare last weekend. Incredibly, Reysol scored three injury-time goals to secure a comeback victory in a game that saw two goals for Belmare disallowed after VAR reviews.
Yokohoma F. Marinos secured a narrow 1-0 away win over Tokushima Vortis last Saturday. A first-half own goal by Takeru Kishimoto gave Marinos the victory.
The victory helped the Tricolor consolidate their second place in the league table. However, they are 15 points behind defending champions and runaway leaders Kawasaki Frontale.
Kashiwa Reysol have a different reality and are in 16th place, just two points above the dropzone having played more games than the clubs beneath them.
