I'm backing Kyoto Sanga to win this one on 31 October 2026 at 08:00. Kyoto sit third in the J1 League table with 18 teams, and they've shown me enough firepower to get past Shimizu S-pulse despite their recent defensive wobbles. Yes, they've conceded 10 goals in their last six matches—the same number they've scored—but I saw them demolish Newcastle United Jets 5-2 just three days ago. That wasn't a fluke. Ranko Popovic's side put four past Newcastle in the first half alone, with Hisashi Appia Taviaha, Alex Souza, Marco Tulio, and Rafael Elias all finding the net. I'm convinced they can repeat that clinical finishing here.
