Giravanz Kitakyushu desperately need points on Sunday, May 9 at 12:00 PM in the J3 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Giravanz Kitakyushu come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Nara Club, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 2D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Giravanz Kitakyushu and Nara Club have split their 6 meetings almost evenly (3W–1D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Nara Club won 1–0.

Verdict: Nara Club's quality should tell even on the road. Giravanz Kitakyushu will push, but the visitors have too much class. Nara Club to win.
