Avispa Fukuoka, Recent FormAvispa Fukuoka manager Shigetoshi Hasebe will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Yokohama FC. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Yokohama FC, who had 6 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Hasebe will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 4 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They are showing great consistency at Best Denki Stadium in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. 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 been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 5 games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Best Denki Stadium, Yuya Yamagishi will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Kyoto Sanga, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 home defeat by Vissel Kobe, Kyoto Sanga manager Kwi-jae Cho will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. In that game they recorded 49 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 10 shots on goal.
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. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. Away from home, they have become reasonably solid at the back with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away outings.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Kyoto Sanga recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Kazunari Ichimi will be looking to cause Avispa Fukuoka some problems having scored 3 goals in Kyoto Sanga's last 6 away games in the league.
