Shimizu S-Pulse form and stats
Shimizu S-Pulse's struggle is real here at IAI Stadium Nihondaira with only 4 points collected from 7 J-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-3. With seven home J-League games in a row without a win, the Shimizu fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Avispa Fukuoka game long ago, can be stopped today.

Shimizu faced defeat in their previous match, away at Consadole Sapporo (0-2). Midfielder Kota Miyamoto was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.12 (out of ten) in that game. Miyamoto had 28 successful passes (of 34 total).
Heartbreak before that as Shimizu lost 1-5 at Yokohama F. Marinos's place.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Shimizu S-Pulse as they are travelling to their away game against Yokohama F. Marinos in the J-League. That match is four days after this one.
Shimizu aren't scoring a lot here at IAI Stadium Nihondaira in the league, with only 4 goals from 7 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Shimizu defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
