Consadole Sapporo desperately need points on Saturday, Apr 17 at 12:00 PM in the J2 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Tokushima Vortis come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Consadole Sapporo travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Tokushima Vortis face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Consadole Sapporo have won 8 of 10 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Tokushima Vortis won 0–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Tokushima Vortis a slight edge, but Consadole Sapporo are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
