Tokyo Verdy form and stats

4 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Tokyo Verdy have to build on here at Ajinomoto Stadium in the J2-League. Tokyo Verdy are slowly digging their own grave here at Ajinomoto Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts.

It's back home for Tokyo, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Vegalta Sendai away with the result 4-3. Kitajima, Nakahara and Kato found the net in that victory. At last, a league win after three matches without one. A goal frenzy last time out for Tokyo Verdy, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Vegalta Sendai. Fun stuff to watch! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Jofuku when Kato scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.

Before that, Tokyo Verdy drew at home versus Tokushima Vortis.
