Peace Stadium in Nagasaki hosts the Emperor Cup second round between V-varen Nagasaki and Ehime FC.

In head to head meetings Nagasaki hold a clear edge, having won four of the last five, the most recent a 4-0 win in November 2025. 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.
