At the moment, they have a certain edge in form, which could be decisive. Kyoto lead the league but haven't secured a significant advantage, so they can't afford to drop points. Additionally, they need to settle the score from the first round. With fan support on their side, it's hard to see how the visitors can find a way to earn points. Our bet is on Kyoto Sanga to win.
