Tokyo form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most clean sheets (14) in J-League, on their J-League travels is 6 wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats.

Tokyo had fun at their own home (Toyota Stadium) last time out, beating Cerezo Osaka 4-0. Watanabe and Phellype scored. As you can tell from the results above, Tokyo was very dominant against Cerezo Osaka, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Watanabe and Phellype providing the goals. It's hard not to mention Watanabe's lethal finishing against Cerezo Osaka. three goals were a big reason for the important victory. The attacker Watanabe got a match rating of 9.71 in that game. Watanabe scored three goals, hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

A loss against Shonan Bellmare was the result prior to that, in a home game.
