Kashiwa Reysol will host Sanfrecce Hiroshima at the Sankyo Frontier Kashiwa Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024 J1 League campaign. The home side have struggled for results in the league of late and now find themselves 13th in the table with 22 points from 18 games.

They suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat to Yokohama FM in their game on Wednesday and had looked set to be headed toward a hard-fought victory before their opponents netted a quickfire double late in the game to snatch all three points.
