League round two of the J-League campaign and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's our Sagan Tosu - Shonan Bellmare preview:

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Shonan Bellmare, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.

It's no vacation for neither Sagan nor Shonan Bellmare as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Sagan Tosu form and stats

The previous season, Sagan Tosu's league stats were 16 wins, 11 draws and 11 losses, results that produced 7th place in the J-League. Over these 38 matches they scored 43 goals and gave away 35. Appearing as the home team in the previous season Sagan Tosu produced 11-5-3 (win-draw-lost) with 30 goals and 15 conceded.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 322 minutes without scoring a league goal. Higuchi was the last player to find the net.

A 0-0 draw away in the J-League before that, with Sanfrecce Hiroshima the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sagan Tosu perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sagan Tosu as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Sagan Tosu has won four of these, drawn five and lost five.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sagan as they are travelling to their away game against Kyoto Sanga in the Nabisco Cup. That match is four days after this one.

Shonan Bellmare form and stats

Let's have a look at how Shonan Bellmare performed last season in the J-League: They landed a 16th position in the league table after playing out 7 victories, 16 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 36 and conceded 41 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 6 and lost 9 with 23/26 goals scored/conceded.

Shonan Bellmare have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 286 minutes ago. Okamoto was the goal scorer.

A loss against Kashiwa Reysol was the result prior to that, in a J-League home game.

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

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Nabisco Cup trip to Júbilo Iwata.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Sagan Tosu victories, five draws and three Shonan Bellmare wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, eight matches with two goals or less.
