Sanfrecce Hiroshima manager Michael Skibbe will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.  They came away from that fixture with 49% of the possession and clocked up 22 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo managed 5 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.  

Skibbe will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 4 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games at EDION Stadium Hiroshima.  

Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 15 games in a row.  

Yuki Ohashi will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

Last time out for Kawasaki Frontale resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 0-0 draw against Tokyo Verdy in a match they really wanted to win.  They achieved 59% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Tokyo Verdy's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 4 and seen valuable points lost.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away 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.
