REF’s picks

FC Tokyo come into this fixture in excellent momentum and are well-positioned to take all three points against a struggling Tokyo Verdy side. Backing the visitors at 1.76 offers a solid entry given the stark contrast in recent form and league positions.

1. 1FC Tokyo have won four of their last five league matches while conceding only once in that span.
2. 2Tokyo Verdy sit at the bottom of the table and have failed to win any of their last five outings.
3. 3Verdy's defensive frailties and lack of goal threat could expose them against a disciplined visiting side.
