34th Day, December 6th !

Last match of the season on Saturday, as we host Kawasaki Frontale at Ajinomoto Stadium !

After a disapointing result in the Clasico (at Yokohama, 2-0) we are still in the playoff spot, 16th place.

Here are the standings, after 33 games:
14 Albirex Niigata 39 pts -15
15 Jubilo Iwata 37 pts -7
---------------------------
16 Tokyo Verdy 37 pts -10

18 Consadole Sapporo 18 pts -33 (Already relegated to J2)

Saturday's games:
Verdy vs Frontale ; JEF vs FC Tokyo Gashead ; Jubilo vs Ardija ; Albirex vs Gamba.

At least one point against Kawasaki to avoid relegation. A win can save us.
