Albirex Niigata, Recent FormAlbirex Niigata will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their away fixture against Kawasaki Frontale. In that game they had 64% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Kawasaki Frontale who had 6 attempts and 3 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Rikizo Matsuhashi will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Sagan Tosu, Recent FormSagan Tosu will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-2 home win against Kyoto Sanga. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target. Kyoto Sanga had 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Yuji Ono will be looking to cause Albirex Niigata some problems having scored 3 goals in Sagan Tosu's last 6 away games in the league.
It was not a positive ending for Albirex Niigata last time they met Sagan Tosu in the league, with the game ending in a 2-0 defeat.
It's been a very long time since Sagan came to Denka Big Swan Stadium in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 4 visits. Away from home, Sagan have shipped at least one goal to Albirex in each of their previous 5 league matches against them. In their past 5 meetings, Sagan's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Albirex will have to take their chances when they come.
Sagan will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 5 times they've visited Albirex in the league and not won this away fixture at Denka Big Swan Stadium for 5 games in a row.
With no real injury worries, Albirex manager Rikizo Matsuhashi will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Sagan manager Kenta Kawai has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
