Player to watch: Thiago Santana
Thiago Santana had an impressive start to his J League campaign, scoring seven times and providing two assists in his first 14 games. However, the Brazilian has been going through a rough patch lately, as he failed to score in nine of his last 10 games. Santana will hope to get back to scoring ways against the league's worst defence.
