- 13' Takuma Ominami has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 18' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Masaaki Higashiguchi suffering a number of foals already.

- 70' Ju Sejong has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 75' Gamba Osaka seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
