Player to watch: Yudai Kimura
Despite Tokyo Verdy's recent struggles, Yudai Kimura has been one of the few bright spots on the team. The 23-year-old has seven direct goal involvements this season, scoring six times with an assist.
However, Kimura blanked in his last four matches across all competitions, so it'll be interesting to see if he can get back to scoring ways this weekend.
