Competition: Japan J-League
Competition: Sun 07.May
Match begins: 06:00 (UTC)
Venue: Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium (27495 seats)

Kawasaki Frontale have won 15 points performing as the home team. Sagan Tosu have got 11 points as the visiting team. Should we expect a home win?

Insights:
  • Kawasaki Frontale have the fewest points (3) at home in J-League
  • Sagan Tosu have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Sagan Tosu have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither Kawasaki Frontale nor Sagan Tosu as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

0-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the J-League numbers at home for Kawasaki Frontale so far this season.

A good away victory last time out for Kawasaki Frontale, who won 1-0 against Kyoto Sanga (placed 12th). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Oniki when Kobayashi scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute. Defender Takai got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.84/10. Takai won 4 of 6 duels.

Before that match, a win away at Avispa Fukuoka.

Kawahara hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 69 successful passes (of 77 total).
