It should be noted that the local team tied a ball in the last day of the Japanese championship, with the Consadole: the only goal of the team was marked by Toma.

If the moment of Matsumoto is negative, the phase of the Iwata Jubilee is terrible. The visiting team has added 3 consecutive defeats in the Japanese championship and does not win 6 games in a row, which is a perfect demonstration of the difficulties faced in the season. Also, outsiders are at the bottom of the leaderboard. It is important to keep in mind that Jubilee lost 6 of its last 9 games away from home. In this game against Matsumoto, coach Hideto Suzuki must play with a defensive strategy, looking only for the counterattack to explore the opponent’s back.
