Machida Zelvia form and stats

There's been little loot from Machida Zelvia's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 15 away games in the J2-League. Machida Zelvia only have 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. Recent form does not give Machida Zelvia much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Fagiano Okayama will be a tough nut to crack. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Machida are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Machida Zelvia lost away at V-Varen Nagasaki (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 1-2 loss hosting Ehime before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Renofa Yamaguchi in just three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Machida as they have only managed to score 13 times from 15 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Machida Zelvia have conceded 23 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
