Player to watch: Ryo Germain
Germain is having one the best seasons of his career and is currently sitting at 11 goals in the J1 League, which makes him one of the candidates to be the top scorer of the league.
Can Germain score more than once?
We already saw Germain score multiple goals in a game three times this season in the league, including a four-goal masterpiece against Kawasaki at the start of the season. Can he do it again on Saturday?
