Oita Trinita form and stats

6 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Oita Trinita have to build on here at Ōita Bank Dome in the J-League. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Trinita, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Trinita are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Avispa Fukuoka. Defender Yuto Misao got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 6.85/10. Misao hit one key pass and won 2 of 3 duels.

In the game before, an away victory in the Emperor Cup match versus Jubilo Iwata with a 2-0 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Oita Trinita perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Oita Trinita as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Trinita has won five of these, drawn four and lost two.

Trinita have scored 15 league goals here from 17 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Trinita have conceded 18 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Gamba Osaka goalkeeper Masaaki Higashiguchi is eager to challenge this, with his 180 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Two travels in a row for Gamba, whose manager M. Matsunami could celebrate last time after the J-League win against Yokohama F. Marinos. Goalkeeper Masaaki Higashiguchi got the top player rating of the team with 7.5/10. Higashiguchi stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 0-2 loss hosting Urawa Reds before that.
