Sanfrecce Hiroshima form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the J-League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 8 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from 17 matches.

Sanfrecce might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Oita Trinita proved too strong as Sanfrecce Hiroshima slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at EDION Stadium. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Vissel Kobe at their stadium, the result 3-0.

Late heartbreak for Sanfrecce in the Oita Trinita match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima have the goal stats of 3-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Sagan four wins, zero draws and Sanfrecce Hiroshima six victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.
