Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Kawasaki Frontale - Tokyo!
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a J-League game only three days ago.
Kawasaki Frontale form and stats
This stadium, Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium, has been a fortress for Kawasaki Frontale in the J-League so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 11-1-0. Kawasaki Frontale has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Nagoya Grampus defeat 69 days ago. In general it's been a long time since Kawasaki tasted defeat here at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium, as they have taken at least one point from their last twelve home games in the league.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Kawasaki, as their goalkeeper Sung-Ryong Jung has completely shut out the opponents for 298 minutes in the J-League.
A nice win for Kawasaki last time playing, versus Nagoya Grampus. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Jesiel and K. Mitoma scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Kawasaki as they have a new game in only three days, a J-League match thankfully also at home. Consadole Sapporo are visiting.
Kawasaki Frontale are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium in their league games, having scored an impressive 35 goals in 12 matches. Kawasaki have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Tokyo form and stats
7-5-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Tokyo in their J-League matches away. It's a growing despair in Tokyo as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The manager K. Hasegawa was unhappy after their last game, a J-League match played at their home ground Ajinomoto Stadium. Tokyo suffered a 1-3 loss to Kashiwa Reysol (placed 8th). A loss against Yokohama F. Marinos was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Tokyo has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 21 goals from 14 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Tokyo have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Tokyo - Kawasaki 0-4. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Kawasaki five wins, two draws and Tokyo three victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
