FC Tokyo has struggled to find the net consistently, scoring an average of only 1.0 goal per game at home, which makes them vulnerable against a confident Shonan Bellmare side that has averaged 1.5 goals per game in their last four matches.

Shonan's defensive record is also notable, allowing only 0.8 goals per game on average, which could frustrate FC Tokyo's efforts to score. Given the head-to-head history, where matches have often been tightly contested, we can expect a strategic battle with both teams looking to exploit any weaknesses.
