Sanfrecce Hiroshima form and stats

A J-League draw at home so far for Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats from 19 matches.

A 1-1 draw away in the J-League before that, with Consadole Sapporo the opponent.

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

Sanfrecce Hiroshima has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Vissel Kobe form and stats

The J-League season is young and Vissel Kobe have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Vissel Kobe have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 183 minutes ago. Makino was the goal scorer.

Vissel are travelling again after losing away to Yokohama F. Marinos in their previous match (0-2).

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Avispa Fukuoka.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Vissel Kobe playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were five Vissel Kobe wins, six draws and six defeats.

The attacking power of Vissel Kobe when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the prior ten meetings involving these two squads are: six wins for Sanfrecce, three draws and one win for Vissel Kobe. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
