FC Tokyo host Sanfrecce Hiroshima at Ajinomoto Stadium, Tokyo on Wednesday, Nov 25 at 11:00 AM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 3 points in the J1 League, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

FC Tokyo come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Sanfrecce Hiroshima travel in good form (3W 1D 1L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, FC Tokyo lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Tokyo a slight edge, but Sanfrecce Hiroshima are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
