The visiting Kawasaki Frontale side should be favourites in this visit to Júbilo Iwata, as the away team holds a 17 point advantage from their 16 league games this season.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Júbilo Iwata form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Júbilo Iwata have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses so far from their games here at Yamaha Stadium. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Júbilo Iwata with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Gamba Osaka game, 15 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Júbilo Iwata, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Júbilo Iwata's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Kawasaki Frontale. Heartbreak before that as Júbilo Iwata lost 1-2 at Consadole Sapporo's place.

The Júbilo Iwata fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. On the other hand, Júbilo Iwata have conceded 12 goals.

Kawasaki Frontale form and stats

The strength of Kawasaki Frontale, who have the most points (19) away in J-League, on their travels this season is incredible with 19 points collected from 7 away games. Kawasaki Frontale has 6-1-0 on the road, with 15 goals scored and 4 conceded. In general it has been a productive period now for Kawasaki Frontale as they haven't lost any of their last 13 games. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Kawasaki Frontale's record of six away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Ulsan game.

Two travels in a row for Kawasaki Frontale, whose manager T. Oniki could celebrate last time after the J-League win against Júbilo Iwata. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Consadole Sapporo.

The Kawasaki Frontale manager T. Oniki has got the team scoring on the road, with 15 away goals in 7 matches. Kawasaki Frontale are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 7 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
