Player to watch: Kosuke Kinoshita
Although Kashiwa Reysol have not particularly enjoyed their best form in recent weeks, Kosuke Kinoshita has been one of the bright spots on the team. The 29-year-old made the switch from Kyoto Sanga earlier this year, and has scored six of his team's 18 league goals so far. However, Kinoshita has not scored in four weeks, so it'll be interesting to see how he fares against one of the league's best defences.
