Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 4-1 away defeat by Urawa Red Diamonds, Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo manager Mihailo Petrović will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. In that game they had 38% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Urawa Red Diamonds who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
Whilst Petrović will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, with them having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 14 in the same period. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, he will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
It's been mixed fortunes for HC Sapporo at Sapporo Dome recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Avispa Fukuoka, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Avispa Fukuoka players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-2 away defeat at the hands of Albirex Niigata. They came away from that fixture with a 32% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Albirex Niigata, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
