26 unlocked

Chidano's regular season standings: 37 points, ranking 3rd in the Eastern Division. They participated in both domestic and Asian competitions and advanced all the way to the finals. The intense schedule has forged a mature team and enhanced their resilience. The team's most prominent feature is solid defense. In the past 6 home games, they won 5 and drew 1 with no goals conceded. In the past 10 matches, they averaged only 0.6 goals conceded per game. They have achieved multiple consecutive wins. The 3-Defender system works well together, and aerial battles and corner kicks are the core scoring methods. The injury situation is only that the center-back Kikuchi Ryouhei has been out for a long time and midfielder Fujita Kazuto has been suspended for a yellow card. The main framework is complete, and they have a natural advantage of securing a draw at home and ranking in the top 5. They have a strong desire to score points. Nagoya is a veteran powerhouse with 31 points, ranking 3rd in the Western Division. Their offensive efficiency in the league remains at the top level, with an average of 1.7 goals per game throughout the season. Yamashita Yuya leads the goal-scoring chart within the team. They excel in high-pressure play and attacking through the flanks with cross passes. However, the team's weaknesses are extremely prominent: the problem of strong offense and weak defense is difficult to solve. Their recent form has plummeted sharply, suffering consecutive big losses. In the past 5 games, they have scored 13 goals, with an average of over 1.5 goals conceded per game at the away venues. The midfielders Ogawa Seiichiro, Matsui Morisuke, and forward Indio are all injured, lacking the connection and offensive anchor in the midfield. The difficulty of attacking away has increased significantly. Historical encounters favor Chidano. The visiting team's recent form has declined, and their popularity is not high. The home team is given a one-goal margin, which is too weak to tempt the home team. It is expected that the visiting team will not lose.
