Kawasaki vs Tochigi SCPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium hosts the Emperor Cup second round between Kawasaki Frontale and Tochigi SC. The home side have drawn four of their last five games, the latest a 1-1 away at Sanfrecce Hiroshima, with their only defeat coming against the same opponent. Tochigi SC arrive on a 2-2 draw with Kitakyushu; their last five also include wins of 2-0 over Urayasu and 3-2 over Kanazawa, though those were separated by a 0-0 away at Roasso Kumamoto. The only official meeting between the two dates back to June 2024, when Kawasaki won 4-1. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
