Episode 302 - 2020 J1 Preview Part 1

We're baaaack, and we begin to get you ready for the start of the new J1 season with an in-depth look at last year's top six with new co-host Sam Robson, and special guests Stuart Woodward, Alex Bishop and Neil Debnam.

After Sam and I briefly round up last week's ACL playoff games, we welcome in Stuart for a chat about how defending champions Yokohama will fare in 2020, the key additions to their squad and how they will approach their return to the ACL (to 26:20).

Then Alex pops on to discuss FC Tokyo, and if they can go one better than last year's second placed finish (to 42:09), Sam and I chat about Kashima, and Neil joins us for a look at Kawasaki, who like Antlers don't have the distraction of the ACL this year, and can go all out for the J1 title (to 1:17:50), before we finish up by running the rule over Cerezo Osaka and Hiroshima.
