A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Tokyo are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Shonan Bellmare are struggling to avoid relegation.

Shonan Bellmare form and stats
5-1-9 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Shonan Bellmare, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in J-League, in their J-League matches away. With the Shonan Bellmare losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Shonan Bellmare are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Shonan Bellmare, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Cerezo Osaka (placed 5th). A loss against Gamba Osaka was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Shonan Bellmare are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 19 away goals from 15 games (in the league). Shonan Bellmare have conceded 27 goals in these games.
