Vegalta Sendai form and stats

Vegalta Sendai have only collected 12 points from their away games in the J-League, after 2-6-8 (16 played).

Vegalta has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Kashiwa Reysol for a J-League game that ended a draw (1-1). Midfielder Rikiya Uehara was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.02. Uehara hit four key passes.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Tokushima Vortis.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Vegalta Sendai playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Vegalta Sendai win, zero draws and three defeats.

The attacking power of Vegalta when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 16 league matches away. Vegalta's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 31 goals from these trips.
