Sagan Tosu, Recent FormLosing 1-0 home to Vissel Kobe won't leave the Sagan Tosu squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. They came away from that fixture with 60% of the possession and clocked up 2 attempts on goal with 0 on target. By comparison, Vissel Kobe managed 15 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Manager Kenta Kawai will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 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. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
This can't be seen as a good run of form at their home stadium, with 3 defeats and only 1 win from their last 6 league matches there.
FC Tokyo, Recent FormIt's fair to say FC Tokyo will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Nagoya Grampus, a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 0 on target, compared to Nagoya Grampus who had 7 attempts and 1 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 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for FC Tokyo, Ryoma Watanabe will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
FC Tokyo will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Sagan Tosu, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 5-0 defeat.
Sagan will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against FC Tokyo having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings. On each of the last 3 outings between FC Tokyo and Sagan in the league, FC Tokyo have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. FC Tokyo have struggled to break down the Sagan defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 1 time in their last 5 meetings. We have seen plenty of goals from Sagan when they play at home against FC Tokyo. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
FC Tokyo will be desperate to get some points from this game, having lost the last 7 times they've faced Sagan in the league.
With no real injury worries, Sagan manager Kenta Kawai will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
FC Tokyo manager Albert Puig has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
