Meanwhile, <b>Osaka Bluteon<\/b> took advantage of the situation and with two victories over Wolfdogs Nagoya climbed to the top on 5-1 and 14. Now Sakai have an opportunity to regain their positions as they host Osaka at the Ohama Daishin Arena for two matches on Saturday at 15:05 local time (06:05 UTC) and on Sunday at 13:05 (04:05). Canadian opposite Sharone Vernon-Evans will once again have to spearhead Sakai towards success, but with his counterpart Yuji Nishida and outsides like USA\u2019s Thomas Jaeschke and Cuba\u2019s Miguel Lopez on the other side of the net, it is likely to be a real challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The two clubs met four times last season with the squad from Osaka winning all four of these encounters, twice in straight sets and twice by 3-1.

Hoping to further extend their four-game winning streak, the squad from the capital arrives at the Ariake Arena as the fourth-placed team in the table on 4-2 and 11. Having played only four matches so far, hosts Suntory are right below them, in fifth place on 2-2 and 7. With the likes of Dmitriy Muserskiy and Ran Takahashi on one side of the net, and Alexandre Ferreira and Maciej Muzaj on the other, the spectators at the iconic Olympic venue are bound to enjoy a stellar duel between greats.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, the two clubs met four times. Suntory won the first three of these matches, but Great Bears shut out the opponents in their most recent encounter in December.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SVLEAGUE_JP\/status\/1851219911093432467\">https:\/\/x.com\/SVLEAGUE_JP\/status\/1851219911093432467<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>JTEKT Stings Aichi<\/b>, one of only two teams to have achieved five victories so far this season, will welcome <b>Toray Arrows Shizuoka<\/b> to the Okazaki Central Park Gymnasium for a double header on Saturday and Sunday at 14:05 (05:05).
