Duel between Consadole Sapporo & Mito Hollyhock is shaping to be one of those affairs where form gets out the window. Underway
Consadole Sapporo’s been erratic, their showings fluctuating from classy to head-scratching. Meanwhile, Mito Hollyhock’s fighting through a rough patch, their defense looking unstable.
Checking past games, it’s a crapshoot. Consadole Sapporo’s had the advantage lately, but footy’s got a nonexistent memory.
Personal take: Both outfits’ve got holes. Consadole Sapporo’s center park’s stuttering, while Mito Hollyhock’s frontline needs a killer instinct.
In terms of the 2nd Division, this game carries added significance. The competition’s race for continental qualification means every point counts, and both clubs know a strong showing here could alter trajectories in the table. Recent form in the 2nd Division suggests neither team can afford lapses, making this tie even more unmissable.
But hey, there’s a vibe about this one—perhaps, it’s the fixture where a player steps up.
