Tokushima Vortis form and stats

Last season their Emperor Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.

Tokushima Vortis's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Tokushima Vortis collect 44 points from their 21 away matches in the J2-League. 14 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 5 defeats). Tokushima has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
