Shonan Bellmare preview: In a rough battle for survival
A win over Urawa Reds in the last round away form home has given Shonan Bellmare hope that they can still salvage this season, but there's a lot of work left if they want to achieve this since they remain in the relegation zone at the moment and they are still five points behind the first team outside of it.
Meanwhile, Taiyo Hiraoka and Kosuke Onose are on the team's injury list right now.

Jubilo Iwata preview: In solid form lately
With just two losses in the last eight games in the J1 League, Jubilo Iwata have done well recently and thanks to this they were able to stay outside of the relegation zone. However, they are also just one point ahead of the first team in it, so they are far from being away from danger yet.
When it comes to team news, the first goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima is out for Jubilo Iwata in this match with an injury.
