Shimizu S-Pulse is ranked sixth in the Japanese J2 League. They're a strong home team but have to head out on the road for this one where they're on a 5-6-2 run surrendering 18 goals. Tochigi SC has home field and is just one point behind Iwaki and Tokushima in the standings. They've been picking up points on a three-game unbeaten run, along with a four-game unbeaten run at home in league action. That included a 2-1 victory over a top 10 team, Fagiano Okayama, so back home field. Play Tochigi SC on the moneyline.
