Kashiwa Reysol form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J-League this season. Kashiwa Reysol have only managed 3 wins, 0 draws and 6 losses from their games here at SANKYO FRONTIER Kashiwa Stadium. The home stadium (SANKYO FRONTIER Kashiwa Stadium) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Kashiwa it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
Happy days for Kashiwa in their previous game, a J-League match away at Shonan Bellmare (placed 13th) that ended with a 4-2 victory. Pedro Raul, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 8.93 (out of 10). Raul scored two goals, served one assist and hit two key passes. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Preceding that match was the home game against Urawa Reds that was lost 0-2.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Emperor Cup game versus Kyoto Sanga in only four days. This game is also played here at SANKYO FRONTIER Kashiwa Stadium.
Kashiwa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. Kashiwa Reysol have conceded 15 from these games.
