Oki’s side can be out of their depth
Jubilo boss John Hutchinson has impressed since his appointment in February 2025 with the side he has created disciplined, pragmatic and balanced enough to pick up immediate results. His side is set up to be compact and has enough quality to make good transitions in attack – where they can hurt the opposition if they are caught out.
Takeshi Oki, who took charge of Kumamoto in February 2020, has a different approach that suits his more technically-gifted charges. His side tend to be more proactive, enjoying their possession and trying to control the flow of the game with a solid platform of two or three midfielders.
This Roasso Kumamoto vs Jubilo Iwata preview captures the contrast in styles, which can make for an interesting matchup, but the visitors’ superior away form and recent head-to-head record give them the edge in this crucial game. Jubilo are capable of punching above their weight and scoring goals on the road while Kumamoto, who average 1.00 goal per home game this term (11 scored in 11), can be caught out by the counter attack.
