Shimizu S-Pulse return to home soil to face V-Varen Nagasaki at 6:00 AM Apr 29, 2026 in what could be a turning point in their J1 League – West campaign.
Shimizu S-Pulse are under pressure to rediscover form after a difficult run. V-Varen Nagasaki will be hoping to turn things around after a tough stretch.
Historically, Shimizu S-Pulse hold the edge with 3 wins to V-Varen Nagasaki's 2 in 8 meetings. 3 of those have ended in draws. Their most recent meeting saw they last drew 1-1.
Expect a tight, tactical affair. Shimizu S-Pulse may hold the edge at IAI Stadium Nihondaira, but V-Varen Nagasaki's quality on the break shouldn't be underestimated.
