Vanraure Hachinohe desperately need points on Sunday, Nov 8 at 5:00 AM in the J2 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Vanraure Hachinohe come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Consadole Sapporo, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Vanraure Hachinohe head into this on the back of a defeat, while Consadole Sapporo arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Verdict: Consadole Sapporo's quality should tell even on the road. Vanraure Hachinohe will push, but the visitors have too much class. Consadole Sapporo to win.
