-------------------------------
Montedio Yamagata
Montedio Yamagata, coached by Susumu Watanabe, is preparing for the 2025 J2 League season after finishing 15th in 2024. They lost 2-0 to V-Varen Nagasaki in their last competitive match on May 25, 2025, struggling defensively, per web sources. Their pre-season form is not well-documented, but they typically average around 1.2 goals scored and 1.4 goals conceded in friendlies. Key players include Shintaro Kokubu (3 goals in 2024) and Akira Silvano (2 assists), with goalkeeper Tomoki Hata expected in goal, per web sources. Montedio’s strengths are their counter-attacking 4-3-3 and home support at ND Soft Stadium Yamagata, but their lack of depth and inconsistent attack are concerns.
Stade de Reims
Stade de Reims, led by Karel Geraerts, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Ligue A season after a mid-table finish in 2024-25. They drew 1-1 with Shimizu S-Pulse in a friendly on July 24, 2025, during their Japan Tour, per posts on X. Their pre-season form shows 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 1.2 goals conceded. Key players include Junya Ito, Mohamed Daramy, and Keito Nakamura, with goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf, per web sources. Reims’ strengths are their possession-based 4-2-3-1 and attacking pace, but their travel fatigue from Paris to Sendai and missing key players like Oumar Diakité may impact performance.
Head-to-Head
Montedio Yamagata and Reims have no prior meetings, making this their first encounter, per web sources. Friendlies between J2 League and Ligue A sides often average over 2.5 goals, with 60% both teams scoring (BTTS), due to open play and squad rotations.
Predicted Score: Montedio Yamagata 1-2 Stade de Reims
This friendly on July 27, 2025, at ND Soft Stadium Yamagata, Japan, at 7:00 PM JST (6:00 AM EDT), is Montedio’s historic first international match, per posts on X. Montedio’s Kokubu and Silvano face Reims’ Ito and Daramy, with Montedio’s home crowd testing Reims’ jet-lagged squad, per posts on X. Reims are favorites (-152 odds) over Montedio (+310), with a draw at +275, per web sources. Trends (Montedio: 50% over 2.5 goals; Reims: 60%) suggest goals, per web sources. The 25°C evening and friendly context should keep cards low. Reims is likely to score through Ito or Daramy, with Kokubu possibly netting for Montedio. Reims’ superior quality should secure a narrow win, though Montedio’s home energy keeps it competitive.
