Player to watch: Hiroki Noda
After an impressive spell with Montedio Yamagata in the J League 2 last season, Hiroki Noda made the switch to Kashiwa Reysol just over a month ago.
Interestingly, the 26-year-old defender scored his first goal for the club against Avispa Fukuoka last week. Can he score in back-to-back games for the first time in his career?
