Kyoto Sanga form and stats

With 2 J-League wins, 0 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Kyoto Sanga are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home stadium (Sanga Stadium by Kyocera) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Kyoto Sanga it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Kyoto Sanga's previous fixture was also a home event, the defeat 1-3 against Tokyo (in Nabisco Cup).

In the game before, an away victory in the J-League match versus Albirex Niigata with a 3-1 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kyoto have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Kyoto Sanga have scored {6 league goals} here from 8 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Kyoto Sanga have conceded 13 from these games.

Yokohama form and stats

There's been little loot from Yokohama's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the J-League. Yokohama only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.

The supporters enjoyed Yokohama's previous match versus Grulla Morioka, a Emperor Cup win (4-1) played at home.

Earlier, the Nabisco Cup win away at Vissel Kobe. We have checked recent matches where Yokohama have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 7 games were 4 victories, 0 draws and 3 defeats.

The attacking power of Yokohama when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Yokohama have conceded 16 goals in these games.
