An important duel in the bottom section of the J-League, with both Consadole Sapporo and Vegalta Sendai experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 17th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Consadole Sapporo form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J-League this season. Consadole Sapporo have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Sapporo Dome. With eight home J-League games in a row without a win, the Consadole fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Yokohama F. Marinos game long ago, can be stopped today. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Consadole to get some points in this home game.
Consadole are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 294 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by A. Lopes).
Consadole Sapporo lost their last game at Vissel Kobe (placed 10th) after a 0-4 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Consadole lost 0-1 at home to Kashiwa Reysol.
As you see from the result above, Consadole Sapporo suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The Consadole fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Consadole Sapporo with 20 goals conceded in these matches.
Vegalta Sendai form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vegalta Sendai so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Vegalta who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Sanfrecce Hiroshima was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Vegalta's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Home advantage was not enough for Vegalta in their previous game, as they lost their J-League-match, hosting Cerezo Osaka, 2-3. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Yokohama F. Marinos's place.
Vegalta were so close to getting something from the game against Cerezo Osaka, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.
Vegalta are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 9 games (in the league). Vegalta have conceded 16 goals in these games.
