4:29pm, 22 July 2025【Football】

On July 21, the Japanese vocational league ushered in a focus battle, with the Fukuoka Hornets facing the challenge of IUD at home. The following is the preview of this game:

Fukuoka Hornets: They remained unbeaten in the last 4 rounds, achieving 1 win and 3 draws, and tied the Kobe Victory Ship 0-0 in the last round, continuing their 4 unbeaten at home. The team has excellent defense and has conceded few goals per game at home, but its offensive firepower is slightly insufficient, and has only scored 6 goals in the last 10 main games. Tactics: Focus on 4-4-2 defense and counter-arrangement, based on defense, relying on wing speed and set pieces. The team usually retreats to the half, finds counterattack opportunities through a solid defense line, and uses the speed of the winger to attack the opponent's defense line. Setting ball offense is also an important scoring method.

Kyoto: He won 10 points in the last 4 rounds, with a record of 3 wins and 1 draw, one game less, and only 3 points away from the second place. He has a fierce momentum in qualifying for the AFC Champions League. The team's offensive end is the top Japanese vocational league. It has scored in 9 of its last 10 games, and has averaged more than 2 goals per game, but there are certain hidden dangers in defense and have conceded goals in four consecutive games. Tactics: Adopt 4-3-3 high-voltage ball control tactics, good at side penetration and fast middle conduction. The team uses the fast transmission of the midfield to create scoring opportunities by using forward players to flexibly run and excellent shooting ability, but the high-level pressure tactics are likely to leave gaps behind. If the opponent seizes the opportunity, they may face greater defensive pressure.
