Tickets are still available, so click here to secure your seats for what is sure to be an unforgettable evening of football.

The capital club have been a fascinating watch this season, riding young talent and a high-powered attack to early success, but they have now lost three on the bounce.

With consecutive defeats to Avispa Fukuoka and Kashiwa Reysol in the league, followed up by a loss to JEF United Chiba in the Emperor's Cup, it's now time for a turnaround in Tokyo.

Albirex will feel the same, hovering just above the drop zone in 14th and coming off a week that contained plenty of frustration. First, Niigata lost 4-3 to Sagan Tosu in the league. Then, they endured a 6-1 demolition at the hands of J2's V-Varen Nagasaki.

There's a ton on the line in this one and you won't want to miss it, whether you're tuning in on JLeague.co or in person at the National Stadium ... be there!
