At least he's playing after almost 2 years of not.
Bit of a strange situation for Kofu (7 pts) as well. Now a good chance of making the knockout stages in the ACL. Not something many ALM clubs have achieved. They host Melb City (7 pts, who they dominated in Melbs) and then away to
Buriram United (6 pts) in Thailand, in their last 2 games.
But this weekend it's all about the J2, in last round of the regular season. They are away to
Montedio Yamagata (7th, 64 pts, GD +9). Is basically an early elimination final for
Kofu (6th, 64 pts, GD +11). Winner will make the promotion playoffs (teams 3rd-6th), loser will miss out.
So Kofu could miss out on the promotion playoffs (remaining a J2 team) but be through to the ACL knockout stages.
