Tokyo form and stats

Tokyo have been very solid at home so far, with 27 points collected from 10 matches (9-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the league table. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Tokyo after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The Tokyo supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Yokohama F. Marinos in J-League and win 4-2. Preceding that game was the away draw at Cerezo Osaka that finished 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Tokyo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won 10 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Yokohama F. Marinos form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (18) away in J-League, on their travels is 4 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Yokohama F. Marinos have lost on their last two travels.

Yokohama F. Marinos play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-4 to Tokyo. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Matsumoto Yamaga.

Yokohama F. Marinos are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of five matches.

Yokohama F. Marinos find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 13 goals from 9 away fixtures. The Yokohama F. Marinos manager A. Postecoglou has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.
