Avispa Fukuoka desperately need points on Saturday, Mar 6 at 12:00 PM in the J1 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Avispa Fukuoka come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Kashiwa Reysol, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Avispa Fukuoka a slight edge, but Kashiwa Reysol are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
