What you need to know:

  • Top scorer Olunga has a nine-goal gap on his closest rival, Brazilian Everaldo who has netted 17 times for Kashima Antlers.
  • As it stands, Olunga will be one of recipients in the 2020 J League Awards programmed for December 22. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the awards will be held online.

Michael Olunga will hope having his image on match-day tickets will inspire his Kashiwa Reysol to a win against Oita Trinita in a Japan top-tier match (J1 League) on Wednesday at Sankyo Frontier Stadium on Wednesday.

Coach Nelson Baptista’s men head into the rearranged fixture having won just once from their last seven matches at Sankyo Frontier. They have no victory in their last four home matches.
