Tokyo form and stats

4 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Tokyo playing as the away team in the J-League this season. Tokyo has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Two away games in a row for Tokyo, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus Consadole Sapporo in the J-League. Midfielder Adailton was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.6. Adailton scored two goals and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 4 times.

A 0-1 defeat away at Sagan Tosu before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tokyo manager K. Hasegawa as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Vegalta Sendai.

Tokyo have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 13 away games in the league. 16 goals have been conceded by Tokyo in these games.
