FC Tokyo, Recent FormFC Tokyo manager Peter Cklamovski will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Tokyo Verdy. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Tokyo Verdy, who had 11 shots on goal with 7 on target.
It's fair to say that Cklamovski will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 10 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 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 23 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Ajinomoto Stadium, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Goalscorer Ryotaro Araki will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for FC Tokyo.
Machida Zelvia, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Vissel Kobe will have left the Machida Zelvia squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Vissel Kobe's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager Go Kuroda will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 16 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games away from home.
The continued consistency shown by Machida away from home is exceptional, having been unbeaten in their last 10 league fixtures away from Machida GION Stadium, and currently on an impressive winning streak of 8 games on the trot.
On an individual basis, Erik Nascimento de Lima will be looking to celebrate a goal with the travelling fans again and continue his hot scoring streak having scored in each of Machida Zelvia's last league game away from home.
