Sagan Tosu
- Sagan Tosu have won 1 of their last 5 matches.
- Toshiki Takahashi is the team's top scorer in the J2 with 2 goals from 8 matches and remains their best cutting edge up front while Manato Yoshida has 4 assists from the same 8 games and is the best creative player in the squad.
Fujieda MYFC
- Fujieda MYFC are winless in 5 (D3, L2).
- Fujieda MYFC are an up-and-down side who are looking to establish their own identity under Tomoaki Makino, who has led Fujieda MYFC since 2 January 2026.
- They are an aggressive, front-foot side, with wingers and wing-backs driving high up the field and a chaotic press that can cause problems if they work, but is easily undermined by teams with good quality on the ball.
Head-to-Head
- Sagan Tosu have won 1 of the last 2 matches against Fujieda MYFC (W1, D1).
- The last matchup finished 0-0 at Fujieda's ground in J2 League 2025, but that was back when Akio Kogiku was still building his team around the high-line pressing game that he has installed since taking over on 1 February 2025.
Key Players
- Ryo Shiohama has 2 goals in his last 5 games for Sagan, and he is something of a bright spark for a side that have scored just 2 in that run.
- Toshiki Takahashi is the team's top scorer in the J2 with 2 goals from 8 matches and remains their best cutting edge up front while Manato Yoshida has 4 assists from the same 8 games and is the best creative player in the squad.
- Riyo Kawamoto is the club's top goalscorer with 3 in 5 J2 matches and he looks to be the biggest threat to the Sagan goal.
- Hayato Manabe is another to watch out for, as he has 2 in his last 5 and looks capable of finishing the chances that Fujieda create in their transition play.
Betting Insights
- Sagan Tosu are the narrow favorites at 1.84 for Saturday's J2 League 2026-2027 clash against Fujieda MYFC and it's right to leave the away side at 4.0 for the time being.
