V-Varen Nagasaki
- V-Varen Nagasaki have won 10, drawn 6 and lost just 2 of their 18 home games in J2 League 2025.
- Takuya Takagi took over as V-Varen’s head coach in June 2025 and reinforced the club’s attacking identity while making them more disciplined defensively.
- Varen are a possession-based 3-4-2-1 side that use their wing-backs to create overloads wide and Matheus Jesus’ eye for goal and ability to unlock defenses from the number 10 role.
Mito HollyHock
- Mito HollyHock top the J2 League 2025 table on 67 points from 36 games, just 1 point ahead of V-Varen Nagasaki in 2nd.
- Mito have been tactically astute under head coach Naoki Mori, who took charge in May 2024.
