J.League Match of the Week: Sanfrecce face Zelvia in top-two battle

It doesn't get much bigger than this, J.League fans. On Saturday at 19:00 JST, Sanfrecce Hiroshima will host FC Machida Zelvia in a battle of the Meiji Yasuda J1 League's top two teams.

A title could very well be on the line in this one, with all the action shown on JLeague.co and broadcasters around the world.

Hosts Sanfrecce are currently in pole position on goal difference, with just five goals separating Hiroshima and their opponents this weekend, Machida.

Zelvia have had a season for the ages, with manager Go Kuroda's side fresh off a J2 title and already in a battle for a top-flight crown in their J1 debut season. Their sensational defense, which has allowed just 22 goals so far this campaign, will go toe-to-toe with Sanfrecce's electrifying attack, which has averaged nearly two goals a game.

Tolgay Arslan has been a big part of that lately, with the German having scored seven goals in his first seven games.

Will he bring more goals this weekend as Sanfrecce pulls clear at the top? Or will Zelvia's stout defense close the door once more on a high-flying opponent?
