Kawasaki Frontale form and stats

8-1-0 is the performance here at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium so far in the J-League, giving Kawasaki Frontale a total of 25 from their 9 games here. Outstanding results! The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Kawasaki has won five games in a row. The Vissel Kobe match was the last time out without a victory. Kawasaki has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium. We remember; it was Sagan Tosu.

A strong away win for Kawasaki against Urawa Reds the last match, as M. Yamane, Y. Kobayashi and Leandro Damião were on target. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sanfrecce Hiroshima in a game that was won 5-1.

Kawasaki Frontale are traveling soon after this match as the J-League match at Shonan Bellmare awaits in four days.

Kawasaki always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium with 28 goals in 9 league games. Kawasaki Frontale are not conceding a lot of goals here at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 9 matches.

Yokohama form and stats

There's been little loot from Yokohama's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the J-League. Yokohama only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Yokohama's last three away games as they have all been lost.

There might be some fixture complaints from Yokohama as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the J-League match against Oita Trinita (0-1). That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Nagoya Grampus.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Yokohama manager T. Shimotaira as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Urawa Reds.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Yokohama have scored 9 goals in 8 league games away. The Yokohama manager T. Shimotaira has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Yokohama - Kawasaki 1-5, played this season. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's three Kawasaki victories, zero draws and zero Yokohama wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.
