Júbilo Iwata are welcoming Sagan Tosu for another important game after their 0-2 result against 3rd-placed Yokohama F. Marinos.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Júbilo Iwata form and stats

Júbilo Iwata's struggle is real here at Yamaha Stadium with only 7 points collected from 14 J-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-9. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Júbilo Iwata fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Vegalta Sendai game long ago, can be stopped today.

Júbilo Iwata's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Yokohama F. Marinos (placed 3rd). A strong away win before that one, visiting Oita Trinita and winning 2-1.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Júbilo Iwata here at Yamaha Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 14 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Júbilo Iwata defense is not exactly impregnable. 24 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Sagan Tosu form and stats

Sagan Tosu, who have the the worst goal difference (-11) away in J-League, have only collected 11 points from their away games in the J-League, after 3-2-9 (14 played).

The supporters enjoyed Sagan Tosu's previous game versus Tokyo (placed 2nd), a J-League 2-1 win played at home. A 3-3 draw was the result before that, hosting Urawa Reds.

What a finish in the last match, as Sagan Tosu came back from being down 0-1 and secured all three points through T. Kanai in the 90th minute.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Shimizu S-Pulse in just four days.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Sagan Tosu have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
