Shimizu S-Pulse form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Shimizu S-Pulse, who have the most conceded goals (70) in J-League, so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-10 (win-draw-lose).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a J-League home defeat versus Vegalta Sendai with 2-3 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kashima Antlers wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Shimizu played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected two times.

The visitors have scored 14 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Shimizu, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
