[ Blogger’s Prediction on April 12th ]
The match between Nagoya and Yokohama Seagulls, both of whom are regaining their form after victories in the last week, is one to watch. Ehime, who have been playing well against the top teams, will face league leaders Shizuoka at home. This is also a match to watch. The match between Kamogawa, who won big in the last week, and Yunogo, who have played tenacious matches so far, will also be interesting. The match between Iga and Setagaya, both of whom suffered narrow defeats in the last week, is also something to look forward to. In any case, it is easily predicted that the competition will continue to be fierce.

[ Overall Review ]
Nittaidai’s Hao Yamamoto pulled off a feat by scoring two goals in added time. Nagoya and Seagulls drew. Nagoya is losing points because they are slow to score and are not showing the solid defense they had last year. Shizuoka secured their fourth win. Ehime seemed to be taking shots, but… Kamogawa vs. Yunogo, and Iga vs. Setagaya, both were decided by goals in added time. Harima and Miyazaki drew, with both teams showing their strengths. The intense battles will continue.
