Player to watch: Yuki Ohashi
Yuki Ohashi scored the only goal in Sanfrecce Hiroshima's 1-0 win over Avispa Fukuoka last weekend. He has been the team's top performer this season, with 13 direct goal involvements in 21 league games. Ohashi scored in his last two appearances for Hiroshima, so it will be interesting to see if he extends his scoring streak to three matches.
