Shimizu S-Pulse form and stats

Shimizu lost away at Yokohama F. Marinos (1-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Yokohama F. Marinos was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The game before that, in the J-League, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Nagoya Grampus.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 Shimizu playing away, we found four games. Results were two away wins, one draw and one home win.
A new game in only four days for Shimizu, the J-League home match versus Tokyo. Busy days.
