Albirex Niigata, Recent FormLosing 1-0 away to Nagoya Grampus won't leave the Albirex Niigata squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. During that encounter they had 72% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 9 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Rikizo Matsuhashi will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have conceded at least one goal in 8 of their 11 home games this season.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Denka Big Swan Stadium, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Shonan Bellmare, Recent FormShonan Bellmare will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Sanfrecce Hiroshima. They came away from that fixture with a 45% share of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Sanfrecce Hiroshima, who managed 17 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
Having lost 16 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Satoshi Yamaguchi will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 4 goals they scored. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 21 of their 22 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 10 games.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Shonan Bellmare, Yuki Ohashi will be looking to add more goals against Albirex Niigata in this match.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Denka Big Swan Stadium, Albirex have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. Shonan will be confident of finding the net in this one against Albirex, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides.
Albirex has a poor track record in the league when they host Shonan, losing in their last 2 home games.
With no real injury worries, Albirex manager Rikizo Matsuhashi will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Shonan manager Satoshi Yamaguchi has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
