A 1-1 draw at FC Osaka (Sep 29) and a 1-1 home draw against Mito Hollyhock (Sep 5) were the only points collected. Defeats to Sanfrecce Hiroshima (0-1), Shimizu S-Pulse (0-1), and Urawa Red Diamonds (2-3) highlight defensive frailties.

Fagiano Okayama, in contrast, have been in strong form with four wins in their last five (W, L, W, W, W). They beat Consadole Sapporo 2-1 away, Urawa Red Diamonds 2-1 away, Sanfrecce Hiroshima 3-2 at home, and JEF United Ichihara Chiba 2-1 away. The only blip was a 1-2 home loss to Kyoto Sanga. Their away performances have been particularly impressive.
