Kawasaki: A home win against already eliminated Eastern SC on Tuesday will ensure Kawasaki Frontale advance to the AFC Champions League knockout stage by claiming one of the top two places in Group G.
The hosts played out four successive draws before Tatsuki Nara scored the only goal of the game to defeat Suwon Samsung Bluewings two weeks ago and leave the J.League outfit requiring victory at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium to progress.
Eastern have found their debut campaign tough, with a 6-0 reversal to Guangzhou Evergrande on Matchday Five confirming their elimination, but they did secure their only point of the group stage with a 1-1 draw against Kawasaki on Matchday Two.
Kawasaki’s 3-0 J.League win over Albirex Niigata on Friday ensures they go into the clash full of confidence, but Eastern will have to pick themselves up from a 4-1 defeat to Kitchee that saw their opponents pip them to the Hong Kong Premier League title on the final day of the season.
