Yokohama FC, Recent FormYokohama FC will not be too troubled by their 3-1 away defeat against FC Tokyo, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against FC Tokyo's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Their boss Shuhei Yomoda is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 15 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 10 goals scored. 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. Shuhei Yomoda will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Yokohama FC will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Stadium, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
Goalscorer Koki Ogawa will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Yokohama FC.
Kyoto Sanga, Recent FormKyoto Sanga will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their away outing against Shonan Bellmare. In that game they had 38% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Shonan Bellmare who had 16 attempts and 5 on target.
Although they have only shipped 3 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 4 goals netted in those 6 matches. Despite winning their last 2 league games there have been some concerning signs recently, with them having failed to score in 4 of their last 6, so the fans will be hoping they have turned a corner. They are proving to be a hard team to beat, having kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
The Kyoto Sanga travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Kazunari Ichimi, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
