The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Sanfrecce Hiroshima are in the 8th position while the guesting Yokohama worry at 14th.
Sanfrecce have less rest than Yokohama in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a J-League game only three days ago. This match was also played here at EDION Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Yokohama have had more rest.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima form and stats
7-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the J-League numbers at home for Sanfrecce Hiroshima so far this season.
The Sanfrecce Hiroshima supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Nagoya Grampus in J-League and win 2-0. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Urawa Reds that ended 1-1.
A decent goal production from Sanfrecce in their home games so far, with 26 goals from 14 league matches. 16 goals have been conceded.
Yokohama form and stats
Yokohama have only collected 11 points from their away games in the J-League, after 3-2-9 (14 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Yokohama have lost on their last two travels.
Yokohama won their last game, 2-1 versus Vissel Kobe played at home. A 2-3 loss hosting Oita Trinita before that.
R. Yasunaga came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Vissel Kobe last time out, making the manager T. Shimotaira feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Vissel Kobe, was very satisfying as R. Yasunaga scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Yokohama have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 15 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Yokohama's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 26 goals from these trips.
