Fukushima United desperately need points on Thursday, Apr 29 at 12:00 PM in the J3 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Fukushima United come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Tochigi SC, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Fukushima United face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Tochigi SC have won 4 of 6 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Fukushima United won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Fukushima United a slight edge, but Tochigi SC are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
