Tokushima Vortis form and stats

Tokushima Vortis have only collected 13 points from their away games in the J2-League, after 2-7-4 (13 played).

Tokushima Vortis might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Ventforet Kofu proved too strong as Tokushima slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Pocari Sweat Stadium.

Before that, Tokushima Vortis travelled to Tokyo Verdy and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Tokushima playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 3 home wins.

Tokushima Vortis have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 14 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Tokushima Vortis have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
