Avispa Fukuoka form and stats

1-4-1 (win-draw-lost) are the J-League numbers at home for Avispa Fukuoka so far this season.

Avispa Fukuoka's last game was hosting Tokyo (placed 5th) and winning 5-1. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Fukuoka played a great game against Tokyo and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. The attacker Yamagishi won the honour of being "man of the match" for Avispa Fukuoka with a rating of 9.05/10. Yamagishi scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Kyoto Sanga with a 1-0 scoreline.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Avispa Fukuoka have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won eight, drawn four and lost three.

From these home matches, Fukuoka have conceded only 3 goals.

Shonan Bellmare form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Shonan Bellmare so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose).

Shonan Bellmare failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Shimizu S-Pulse (placed 12th) that ended with defeat 1-4. It's probably bad news for Shonan Bellmare that their goalkeeper Tomii made six saves in the Shimizu S-Pulse fixture, but still were unable to prevent a loss. Sugioka, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.63. Sugioka served one assist, hit two key passes and won 9 of 14 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Consadole Sapporo wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Shonan Bellmare playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were one Shonan Bellmare win, four draws and three defeats.

The attacking power of Bellmare when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Shonan Bellmare have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six Avispa Fukuoka victories, two draws and two Shonan Bellmare wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
