Shonan Bellmare hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 4 points and a 18th position in the J-League table. Visiting Vissel Kobe holds 9th place with 17 pts.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Shonan Bellmare form and stats
Shonan Bellmare's struggle is real here at Shonan BMW Stadium Hiratsuka with only 4 points collected from 6 J-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-4. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Bellmare with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Kashima Antlers game, 44 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Bellmare manager B. Ukishima might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
T. Okamoto was the last player to score a league goal for Bellmare and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Shonan Bellmare haven't scored in 194 minutes.
Bellmare faced defeat in their previous match, away at Tokyo (0-3). Preceding that match was the home game against Nagoya Grampus that was lost 0-1.
Shonan Bellmare have scored 3 goals here in 6 league matches, a depressing statistic. Bellmare's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Vissel Kobe form and stats
Vissel Kobe have an excellent away record in the J-League so far with 3-3-0 from 6 games.
Vissel Kobe's last game was the home draw against Yokohama F. Marinos (3-3). A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Kawasaki Frontale.
The match against Yokohama F. Marinos looked like a defeat for Vissel, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 3-3. K. Furuhashi equalized in the 90th minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Vissel, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? As mentioned above, Vissel drew the match against Yokohama F. Marinos. Manager T. Fink brought on K. Furuhashi to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
Vissel are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. As opposed to that, Vissel have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
