immortal bird
is the bottom 3 of the team, then in the first two rounds of the team's promotion playoffs, drew 2-2 and and twice by virtue of the higher ranking in the league to advance to the final of the promotion playoffs to get the opportunity to play against the Kyoto Immortals.
Although the Kumamoto Crimson have played two extra rounds of play-offs, both teams' last matches took place about a week ago, so there won't be much difference in terms of preparation. Since this match is being played at the home of the Kyoto Immortals, and the home team is a J1 team, it looks like there are two less rounds of playoffs to go through. In comparison, Kumamoto Crimson's first two rounds of playoffs were a bit unconvincing, so Kyoto is a little too hot for this match.
However, Kumamoto Shamrocks boss Takeshi Oki, who was the Kyoto Immortals boss for three years between 2011 and 2014, has the advantage of knowing his enemy.
