Gameday in Shizuoka for the first round between Shimizu & Consadole.

Shimizi will be without Akira Ibayashi, Kenta Nishizawa & Takumi Kato.

On their side Consadole is full line up.

Last season Shimizu ended rank 14 with 10 wins, 12 draws & 16 losses for 37 goals scored & 54 goals conceded.

On their side Consadole ended rank 10 with 14 wins, 9 draws & 15 losses for 48 goals scored & 50 goals conceded.

For this season Shimizu will be on point unlike last season when they got problems with their foreigners. Carlinhos Junior & Renato Augusto will be able to start directly. Of course in front the key player will be Thiago Santana, for their defense it will be Yoshinori Suzuki & midfielder Daiki Matsuoka.

Consadole for this season made some additions as Gabriel Xavier from Nagoya. Koroki from Urawa, Daigo Nishi also from Urawa.

For this season they will still loan Kim Min-Tae but this time to Kashima. Chanathip left to Frontale and it's a huge problem because he was really the key midfielder. Bothroyd was released because the club wasn't happy by his performance.

For me clearly Shimizu should be favorite on this game, because on the field I rate them stronger especially because I don't rate Consadole ready to replace Chanathip and also because the home advantage will be a great boost.

I expect 2-1 for Shimizu.

清水和札幌之间的第一轮比赛日。

清水将缺少 Akira Ibayashi、Kenta Nishizawa 和 Takumi Kato。

札幌阵容齐整。

上赛季清水以10胜12平16负的成绩，打进37球，丢54球，位列第14位。

札幌以14胜9平15负的成绩结束了排名第10位的比赛，打进48球，失球50球。

本赛季清水将与上赛季不同，当时的外援出现了很多问题 Carlinhos Junior 和 Renato Augusto 将能够直接首发。当然，前场的关键球员是蒂亚戈桑塔纳，他们的防守将是铃木佳典和中场松冈大树。

札幌在本赛季加入了一些新球员，来自名古屋的加布里埃尔·泽维尔。来自浦和的Koroki，也来自浦和的Daigo Nishi。

本赛季他们仍将租借金敏泰，但这次租借给了鹿岛。Chanathip 离开了 Frontale，这是一个大问题，因为他是关键的中场。博特罗伊德被释放是因为俱乐部对他的表现不满意。

对我来说很明显清水应该会成为比赛的热门，在场上他们更强，尤其是因为我不认为札幌有人可以取代 Chanathip，而且主场优势也将发挥作用。
