Shonan Bellmare form and stats

Shonan Bellmare's struggle is real here at Shonan BMW Stadium Hiratsuka with only 5 points collected from 9 J-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-6. Bellmare has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager B. Ukishima and the players. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Bellmare, their manager B. Ukishima and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Stress levels are on the rise for Bellmare's attacking players as they have now played 285 minutes without scoring in a league game. K. Ono was their last goal scorer.

The Bellmare crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Kawasaki Frontale here at Shonan BMW Stadium Hiratsuka in a J-League match. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Kashima Antlers.

The lack of attacking qualities in Bellmare means that they have only scored 4 goals in 9 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Bellmare's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
