Both sides enter this fixture eager to break poor runs of form and climb the table. Shimizu S-pulse have struggled recently, recording a 1W-1D-4L record in their last six matches, scoring only 4 goals while conceding 8. Their recent sequence shows they have found consistency difficult to maintain. Meanwhile, Avispa Fukuoka arrives with a similar 1W-2D-3L record across their previous six outings.
