Avispa Fukuoka, Recent FormIt's fair to say Avispa Fukuoka will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Kashima Antlers, a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. During that encounter they had 47% possession and had 5 attempts on goal with 0 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 14 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Shigetoshi Hasebe will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 4 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at Best Denki Stadium. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Hasebe of late, his defence having only notched up 1 clean sheet from their last 6 home games.
They have had a good run of form at Best Denki Stadium recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Shonan Bellmare, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Shonan Bellmare players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Kyoto Sanga. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Kyoto Sanga's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 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 have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Shuto Machino will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Shonan Bellmare's last 6 league games.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
On each of the last 2 outings between Shonan and Avispa in the league, Shonan have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. Playing away from home, Shonan have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Avispa.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Avispa hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 9 meetings.
