After two games we know a little more about the qualities of Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Consadole Sapporo in this fresh J-League season. Read our match preview!
It's no vacation for neither Sanfrecce nor Consadole Sapporo 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.
Consadole Sapporo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima form and stats
A J-League draw at home so far for Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats from 17 matches.
Sanfrecce drew their last game, 3-3 away at Yokohama F. Marinos (placed 14th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Nabisco Cup home game that ended 0-0 versus Shimizu S-Pulse.
Opportunity lost for Sanfrecce in the Yokohama F. Marinos match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sanfrecce as they are travelling to their away game against Kashima Antlers in the J-League. That match is three days after this one.
At EDION Stadium, Sanfrecce Hiroshima has the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Consadole Sapporo form and stats
Consadole Sapporo have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the J-League were 5 victories, 4 draws and 8 defeats from 17 fixtures.

A new game in only three days for Consadole, the J-League home match versus Gamba Osaka. Busy days.
Consadole Sapporo have the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
