Unbeaten ThespaKusatsu Gunma returns home to Shoda Shoyu Stadium for fourth round game against unbeaten Tokyo Verdy, which repeats at away. With different styles both teams have avoided defeat. ThespaKusatsu Gunma solid defending, zero goals in three games, and Tokyo Verdy persevering attack scoring in every game have helped both teams to ties.

ThespaKusatsu Gunma is yet to concede a goal this season, three consecutive clean sheets that have allowed them to get points in every game. The aspect to keep in check is their low scoring, one goal in the opener and then two score less games. If their low goal production is to proceed, the key aspect will be if their defense continues to hold, which against top attacks seems very difficult.

In contrast, Tokyo Verdy has scored in every game they have played, with five different players getting in the score sheet for a dynamic attack.

Considering their previous encounters between them and the current form of both teams it seems it is going to be a close encounter, two solid defenses between them. The key differential is the attack, in which Tokyo Verdy has the edge, Tokyo Verdy has scored in this game before and is doing it consistently and by multiple players. Tokyo Verdy will get something here.
