Consadole Sapporo are welcoming Vegalta Sendai for another important game after their 0-3 result against 12th-placed Kashima Antlers.
- Consadole Sapporo have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Vegalta Sendai have the most conceded goals in the first half (15) in J-League
It's no vacation for neither Consadole nor Vegalta Sendai as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Consadole Sapporo form and stats
Consadole Sapporo have played 4 J-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Consadole are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Kashima Antlers. Ahead of that match, Consadole lost 1-3 at home to Yokohama F. Marinos.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Avispa Fukuoka are coming to town in four days.
Goals are plentiful at Sapporo Atsubetsu Park Stadium in the league this season as Consadole has scored 11 goals here in 4 home games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Consadole Sapporo have allowed the opposition to score 10 goals here at Sapporo Atsubetsu Park Stadium.
Vegalta Sendai form and stats
Vegalta Sendai have only collected 2 points from their away games in the J-League, after 0-2-4 (6 played).
Vegalta play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Sanfrecce Hiroshima (placed 7th). Ahead of that match was the J-League away draw versus Yokohama that ended 2-2.
C. Kato came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima last time out, making the manager M. Teguramori feel like a tactical genius.
A quick return to home after this game, as Vegalta are hosting Yokohama F. Marinos in the Nabisco Cup only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vegalta as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. The Vegalta manager M. Teguramori has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
