Gameday in Okinawa for the 1/32 finals between Ryukyu & Omiya Ardija.

Ryukyu in J league 2 is ranked 21 with 3 wins, 6 draws & 10 losses for 23 goals scored & 35 goals conceded.

Omiya Ardija is ranked 20 with 4 wins, 6 draws & 9 losses for 20 goals scored & 31 goals conceded.

We are going to have a game with two teams who are really bad this season in J league 2.

Both teams are going on this game with rotations but even more on Ryukyu’s side who is going with a lot of reserve players who never played this season. They go with their third GK, with only one player who can be starter, Uesato, Omori, Noda & Hitomi as players who already got time this season but only few minutes.

Omiya Ardija is going with their first GK on this game, Kurimoto who starts his season from them, he got experience in USA in low level so it’s hard to rate his level, they still have players who are used to get times as Ohashi, Takeda, Kikuchi & Tomiyama. They have three players from the reserve : Yoshinaga, Miyuki & Izumisawa.

In normal condition I would rate Ryukyu a bit stronger but clearly that today I don’t see their reserve line up to win against the mix line up of Omiya Ardija.

DNB on Omiya is actually the best spot for this game.

I expect 0-1 or 1-2.
