Avispa Fukuoka, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Avispa Fukuoka players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Sanfrecce Hiroshima. During that encounter they had 48% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 10 shots on goal.
Supremo Shigetoshi Hasebe will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had an excellent run of form at Best Denki Stadium recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Yuya Yamagishi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 6 goals in Avispa Fukuoka's 12 league games this season.
Sagan Tosu, Recent FormSagan Tosu 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 Urawa Red Diamonds. They achieved 42% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Urawa Red Diamonds' tally of 21 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Kenta Kawai will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Fuchi Honda has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Avispa Fukuoka.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Avispa have managed to keep a clean sheet against Sagan in each of their previous 2 meetings at Best Denki Stadium.

Sagan manager Kenta Kawai has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
