There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the J-League table so far. Here's the Avispa Fukuoka - Tokyo latest:
- Avispa Fukuoka have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Tokyo have the most points from losing position (10) in J-League
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a J-League match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Kawasaki Frontale, so at least Fukuoka are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Avispa Fukuoka form and stats
Avispa Fukuoka have collected 3 points from their J-League home games so far after 1-0-3.
Fukuoka are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Kawasaki Frontale. A 2-2 draw away before that, with Cerezo Osaka the opponent.
Avispa Fukuoka are traveling soon after this match as the Nabisco Cup match at Sagan Tosu awaits in four days.
The Fukuoka fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.
Tokyo form and stats
Tokyo are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the J-League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). It's three draws from Tokyo's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Home advantage was not enough for Tokyo in their previous game, as they lost their J-League-match, hosting Kawasaki Frontale, 2-4. Before that, Tokyo secured a home win against Consadole Sapporo with the score 2-1.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Kawasaki Frontale was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
The schedule is very tough for Tokyo now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Nabisco Cup game at Oita Trinita is waiting in only four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tokyo as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Tokyo are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
