J-League: Kashiwa Reysol are 15 points behind Avispa Fukuoka, but are inspired to go all in. Let's start!

Insights:
  • Kashiwa Reysol have the fewest scored goals in the second half (11) in J-League

It's quite the trip for Avispa Fukuoka when visiting Kashiwa as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Kashiwa Reysol form and stats

With 2 J-League wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Kashiwa Reysol are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Kashiwa Reysol enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Yokohama's place. The match ended 2-1 with Hosoya and Sávio scoring. The home team have an in-form goalscorer in Sávio, having found the net in three consecutive matches. Katayama, defender, was given a rating of 7.6/10 in that game, top of the team. Katayama hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes and won 2 of 4 duels.

Before that, Kashiwa Reysol had a home game versus Yokohama F. Marinos which ended with a victory 2-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Kashiwa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kashiwa Reysol as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Kashiwa Reysol has won 4 of these, drawn 4 and lost 4.

Low-scoring affair? Looking at this team's last 10 league matches, 8 have seen two goals or less.

On the other hand, Kashiwa Reysol have conceded 19 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Avispa Fukuoka are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the fixture against Nagoya Grampus (placed 5th). Wellington came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Nagoya Grampus last time out, making the manager Hasebe feel like a tactical genius.
