Avispa Fukuoka vs FC Tokyo Prediction

Tokyo's narrow first leg win has left it all to play for in Fukuoka, and both sides will believe they still have a shot at qualification.

Avispa have an advantage, and their strong record in home games against Tokyo could count in their favour as they seek to overturn the slender one-goal deficit.

Avispa are likely to start the game on the front foot, and their backline could be breached. Expect the hosts to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Avispa 3-1 Tokyo
