Albirex Niigata, Recent FormHaving secured a 2-1 away win against Sanfrecce Hiroshima in their latest league match, Albirex Niigata will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Sanfrecce Hiroshima's tally of 22 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Rikizo Matsuhashi will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They are showing great consistency at Denka Big Swan Stadium in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They've had a good run of form at home recently, with 5 straight wins in a row.
Goalscorer Yoshiaki Takagi will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Albirex Niigata.
Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, Recent FormWith Vissel Kobe sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo won't feel totally dejected with their 3-1 home defeat by them last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 63%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Vissel Kobe had 19 shots on goal with 9 on target.
Manager Mihailo Petrović will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
HC Sapporo will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
Ryota Aoki will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Albirex will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Consa having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings.
HC Sapporo has a very poor track record against Albirex when playing away from home in the league, losing the last 4 times they have met at Denka Big Swan Stadium.
With no real injury worries, Albirex manager Rikizo Matsuhashi will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
HC Sapporo manager Mihailo Petrović has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
