Glory for the home side, the away team steals the points or a tactical 0-0 draw? It's all possible when the mid-table inhabitants Tokyo and Shonan Bellmare battle at Ajinomoto Stadium.
- Tokyo have the fewest matches over the total-line (1) in J-League
- Shonan Bellmare have the most scored goals (13) in J-League
It's no vacation for neither Tokyo nor Shonan Bellmare 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
Perfect J-League season at home so far for Tokyo 2 wins from 2 appearances.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 208 minutes without scoring a league goal. Oliveira was the last player to find the net.
The regulars are hoping that Tokyo will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Nabisco Cup fixture against Gamba Osaka.
Heartbreak before that as Tokyo lost 0-1 at Sagan Tosu's place.This is expected to be a close game, with Tokyo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Tokyo at home in the league. 5 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
