FC Tokyo, Recent FormThe FC Tokyo players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Kyoto Sanga recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Kyoto Sanga's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Ryoma Watanabe will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for FC Tokyo.
Yokohama FC, Recent FormYokohama FC won't feel too deflated by the 3-1 home defeat to Kashima Antlers, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 3 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Kashima Antlers had 16 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Shuhei Yomoda, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 15 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 11 goals scored. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
On an individual basis, Koki Ogawa will be looking to cause FC Tokyo some problems having scored 7 goals in Yokohama FC's last 6 away games in the league.
A defeat for Yokohama FC in their last match against FC Tokyo was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 4 goals.
When playing away from home in the league, Yokohama have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 matches against FC Tokyo. Ahead of this match, Yokohama won't be happy with their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal against FC Tokyo in their last 2 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, FC Tokyo's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Yokohama will have to take their chances when they come. In their last 3 away league games against FC Tokyo, Yokohama have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
In the league, FC Tokyo has an strong track record when they play host to Yokohama, notchng up a win in their last 4 home games.
With no real injury worries, FC Tokyo manager Albert Puig will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Yokohama manager Shuhei Yomoda has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
