Gameday in Kumamoto for the 1/32 final between Kumamoto & Ryukyu.

Kumamoto should be without Shohei Mishima, Aizawa & Ishikawa.

Ryukyu on their side should be without Takuya Hitomi, Fujiwara, Kiyotake & Araki.

Kumamoto is ranked 8 of the J league 2 with 8 wins, 6 draws & 7 losses for 31 goals scored & 21 goals conceded.

Ryukyu is ranked 15 of the J league 3 with 5 wins, 2 draws & 7 losses for 16 goals scored & 20 goals conceded.

I see a great value here on Kumamoto who is a stronger team. They are aiming the promotion in J league 2 but they are also giving importance to the Emperors Cup.

Ryukyu on their side is the newly relegated team this season and they are doing really bad in third division as they were aiming the promotion. The good thing for them is that they still could kept the GK Carvajal & import Kelvin even if they are not talented players they are still important for their squad.

At home I expect Kumamoto to win 2-0 or 2-1.

1/32决赛熊本对琉球的比赛日。

熊本应该没有三岛正平、相泽和石川。

他们这边的琉球应该没有拓谷仁美，藤原，清武和荒木。

熊本以8胜6平7负的成绩(进31球失21球)排名日本联赛第8位。

琉球以5胜2平7负的成绩(进16球失20球)在J联赛中排名第15位。

我在熊本身上看到了巨大的价值，他是一支更强大的球队。他们的目标是在乙级联赛升级，但他们也重视皇帝杯。

他们这边的琉球是本赛季刚刚降级的球队，他们在第三级联赛的表现非常糟糕，因为他们的目标是升级。对他们来说好的是他们仍然可以保留GK卡瓦哈尔和引进凯文，即使他们不是天才球员，他们仍然对他们的阵容很重要。

在主场，我预计熊本将以2-0或2-1取胜。
