In my opinion Machida is extremely overrated by bookmakers in this game. I don’t see so big chances for them to win because their motivation in this match is under big question mark.

Machida is leader of the table in J2 and for sure their main priority is league as they wants to get promotion at the end of the season. According to the draw Machida in next round of this competition can play against the strongest team in Japan – Yokohama, so I’m not sure they wants to waste time and energy for this encounter. League is more important. In addition to that their coach Kuroda never recorded win in this competition.

On the other hand Kanazawa is just 4 points above relegation zone. Their form is not good, but at home they didn’t lost in 3 of last 4 matches. Their coach Keita Fujimura said: We haven't had any results in the league at the moment, so we want to win the Emperor's Cup and build on the momentum." Is perfect opportunity to face strong, but not motivated opponent to get momentum for upcoming league matches.

Kanazawa have much bigger motivation to win, especially front of home crowd and I see value on their side.

在我看来，在这场比赛中，博彩公司对町田的评价过高了。我不认为他们有很大的机会获胜，因为他们在这场比赛中的动力是个很大的问号。

町田是J2积分榜的领跑者，当然他们的首要任务是联赛，因为他们想在赛季结束后晋级。根据抽签结果，町田在下一轮的比赛中可能会遇到日本最强的球队——横滨，所以我不确定他们是否愿意为这场比赛浪费时间和精力。联盟更重要。除此之外，他们的教练黑田东彦在这项比赛中从未取得过胜利。

另一方面，金泽仅比降级区高出4分。他们的状态不是很好，但是在主场他们最近4场比赛中3场没有输。他们的教练藤村庆太说:“我们目前在联赛中还没有取得任何成绩，所以我们想赢得天皇杯，继续保持这种势头。”这是一个绝佳的机会去面对强大的，但没有动力的对手，为即将到来的联赛获得动力。

金泽有更大的动力去赢球，尤其是在主场观众面前，我看到了他们的价值。
