Player to watch: Supachok Sarachart
Consadole Sapporo received a huge boost with the return of Supachok Sarachart. The 26-year-old was away on international duty last week, where he scored in one of two appearances for Thailand.
Sarachart has Consadole Sapporo's top performer this season, with four goals and an assist to his name. He'll fancy his chances against Kyoto Sanga, who have one of the worst defences in the league.
