Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Kashiwa Reysol & Tokushima Vortis face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Emperor Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kashiwa Reysol and Tokushima Vortis.
Kashiwa Reysol form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Emperor Cup for Kashiwa, as the manager Júnior led his troops to eliminate Tsukuba University, and reach the 3rd Round. Last season, Kashiwa Reysol's Emperor Cup journey ended in the 3rd round.5-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the J-League numbers at home for Kashiwa Reysol so far this season.
A nice win for Kashiwa Reysol last time playing, versus Vissel Kobe. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Shiihashi, Muto and Sávio scoring for the victors. Toshima (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.7/10. Toshima hit one key pass.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kashiwa Reysol have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 3 and lost 5.
The manager Júnior will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Yokohama F. Marinos in only three days.
The Kashiwa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Tokushima Vortis form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Fukuyama City in order to reach 3rd round of Emperor Cup. They also participated in Emperor Cup last season. This ended in the 3rd round.Playing away, Tokushima Vortis have won 2 games, drawn 6 and suffered 3 defeats in the J2-League this season.
There might be some fixture complaints from Tokushima Vortis as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-1 against Grulla Morioka.
A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Vegalta Sendai in the J2-League.We have checked recent matches where Tokushima Vortis have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 4 games were 1 victory, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Tokushima are hosting ThespaKusatsu Gunma in the J2-League only four days away.
It's not easy to score on Tokushima Vortis as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
