Tokushima Vortis welcome Kumamoto to their Pocari Sweat Stadium, Tokushima for a league game in the Japan J2 League on Wednesday afternoon. Tokushima are currently placed on the 15th position in the league table with 41 points after 36 league games so far. Sitting a point and two places below them are their current opponents, Roasso Kumamoto, who are on 40 points and seated on the 17th position in the league table after same number of games as them. Tokushima were defeated in their last weekend outing as they lost by 0-1 at their home ground. They conceded the only goal of the game in the first half, and could not find their way back into the game in the second period. Meanwhile, Kumamoto were victorious in their last weekend game as they beat Tochigi SC 3-0 to continue their resurgence of late. Two first half goals and another one in the second half secured the victory for them. For this encounter, I am expecting a win or a draw for Kumamoto for the following reasons:

Firstly. Tokushima have been fairly on a good run of form recently before their wobble last week. They had won three and drawn two of their previous five games before the weekend game. However, this is a team that have more penchant to draw games than win or lose them. Their performances throughout the season have earned them more draws. They have drawn about 47% (17) of their games, lost 32% (11), and won 21% (8) of them. Against a resurgent Kumamoto, the first two results seem more likely.

Secondly. Kumamoto had struggled in form in August and earlier part of September to lose ground in their chase to finish higher in the league table. After their 2-0 win over FC Tokyo on 2nd August, they went on a bad run where they did not win any game. This lasted till second week of September. Since their last loss which was against Fujieda, they have recorded back to back victories without conceding, and scoring six goals, three goals a piece. They are full of confidence coming into this game, and there will be strong conviction within them that they can get a result here.

Tokushima will still be licking their wounds from their recent loss experienced on weekend which was on their home ground. They now have to play against Kumamoto who have a statement to make in this game, and are riding on the wave of their good performances. I am expecting a win or a draw for Kumamoto this afternoon.

德岛旋风队欢迎熊本在周三下午的日本J2联赛中来到德岛的Pocari Sweat体育场。经过36场联赛，德岛目前以41分排名第15位。比他们少1分和2个名次的是他们的对手熊本罗索(roaso Kumamoto)，熊本罗索以40分排名第17位，与他们的比赛场次相同。上周末，德岛队在主场以0-1落败。他们在上半场丢了全场唯一的进球，在下半场也没能找到扳回比分的办法。与此同时，熊本在上周末的比赛中取得了胜利，他们以3比0击败了枥木SC，继续了他们最近的复苏。上半场的两个进球和下半场的一个进球确保了他们的胜利。对于这场比赛，我希望熊本能赢或平，原因如下:

首先。在上周的动荡之前，德岛队最近的状态相当不错。在周末的比赛之前，他们在之前的五场比赛中取得了三胜两平的成绩。然而，这是一支更倾向于平局而不是输赢的球队。他们整个赛季的表现为他们赢得了更多的平局。他们有47%(17场)平局，32%(11场)输球，21%(8场)获胜。面对熊本的复苏，前两种结果似乎更有可能出现。

其次。熊本在8月和9月上旬的状态不佳，在追逐更高的积分榜上失去了优势。在8月2日以2比0战胜东京FC之后，他们一场比赛都没赢。这种情况一直持续到九月的第二个星期。自从上一场输给藤田之后，他们取得了背靠背不失球的胜利，并打进了6球，一人进3球。他们对这场比赛充满了信心，他们坚信自己能取得好成绩。

德岛仍在舔着上周末主场失利的伤口。他们现在必须对阵熊本，熊本在这场比赛中有一个声明，并且正在利用他们的良好表现。我希望熊本今天下午能赢或平。
