Kyoto Sanga form and stats

When playing at home in the J-League, Kyoto Sanga have managed 0 wins, 0 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 1 games.

Boia was the last player to score a league goal for Kyoto Sanga and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Kyoto Sanga haven't scored in 380 minutes.

No payout for Kyoto in their previous match, an away game at Nagoya Grampus that ended in defeat 0-1. The forward Patric was declared "man of the match" for Kyoto Sanga with a rating of 7.33/10. Patric dribled past the opponent 4 of 6 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Kashima Antlers that was lost 0-2.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Gamba Osaka are coming to town in four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Kyoto Sanga at home in the league. 0 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Tokyo form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first J-League away game of the season. During their previous season 17 away games resulted in 6 wins, 2 draws and 9 defeats.

Tokyo are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Kashiwa Reysol (placed 10th). Koizumi got a match rating of 7.43 in that game, top player of the team. Koizumi had 23 successful passes (of 24 total).

Before that, Tokyo secured a home win against Urawa Reds with the score 2-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tokyo manager Puig as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Cerezo Osaka.

Tokyo have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
