Shimizu S-Pulse form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J-League this season. Shimizu S-Pulse, who have the most conceded goals (47) in J-League, have only managed 2 wins, 0 draws and 8 losses from their games here at IAI Stadium Nihondaira. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at IAI Stadium Nihondaira, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Consadole Sapporo game. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Shimizu to get some points in this home game.

In their previous game, the manager P. Cklamovski led his Shimizu to a defeat in the J-League match away at Oita Trinita. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at IAI Stadium Nihondaira. Heartbreak before that as Shimizu lost 1-3 at Nagoya Grampus's place.

A decent goal production from Shimizu in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 10 league matches. Shimizu have conceded 23 goals in these home games, a significant number.
