Competition: Wed 14.October
Match begins: 10:00 (UTC)
Venue: Ajinomoto Stadium (50100 seats)

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Tokyo fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Shimizu S-Pulse's 17th place in the table will show on the pitch.

It's no vacation for neither Tokyo nor Shimizu S-Pulse as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Tokyo form and stats

Tokyo, who have the most clean sheets (10) in J-League, have played 10 J-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-0-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Tokyo are confident in defense, having played 196 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Kawasaki Frontale and winning 2-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Tokyo as they are travelling to their away game against Yokohama in the J-League. That match is four days after this one.

Tokyo have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Ajinomoto Stadium with 16 goals in 10 league matches. On the other hand, Tokyo have conceded 13 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Shimizu S-Pulse form and stats

Shimizu S-Pulse, who have the most conceded goals (47) in J-League, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the J-League, after 1-3-7 (11 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Shimizu who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Shonan Bellmare was the last time a defeat was avoided. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Shimizu S-Pulse are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Oita Trinita wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

A new game in only four days for Shimizu S-Pulse, the J-League home match versus Sagan Tosu. Busy days.

The attacking power of Shimizu when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Shimizu have conceded 24 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Shimizu S-Pulse - Tokyo 1-3. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Tokyo six wins, two draws and Shimizu S-Pulse two victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
