Tokyo form and stats

Tokyo have collected 26 points from their J-League home games so far after 7-5-2.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Tokyo, as their goalkeeper Jakub Slowik has completely shut out the opponents for 245 minutes in the J-League.

Tokyo enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Kashima Antlers's place. The match ended 1-0 with Abe scoring. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Puig when Abe scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute. Defender Kimura got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.24/10. Kimura won 4 of 7 duels.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Kyoto Sanga.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Tokyo have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won 7, drawn 4 and lost 3.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the J-League game versus Cerezo Osaka in only four days. This game is also played here at Ajinomoto Stadium.

The Tokyo fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 21 goals in 14 league matches. Tokyo are not conceding a lot of goals here at Ajinomoto Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 14 matches.
