0 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what JEF United, who have the fewest points (2) at home in J2-League, have to build on here at Fukuda Denshi Arena in the J2-League.

Happy days for JEF in their previous game, a J2-League match away at Renofa Yamaguchi (placed 17th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Heartbreak before that as JEF United lost 0-2 at Albirex Niigata's place.

JEF United have scored 2 goals here in 5 league matches, a depressing statistic. 6 goals have been conceded.
