JEF United form and stats

With 1 win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, JEF United are certainly not brimming with confidence. JEF United have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The fans are hoping that JEF United will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the J2-League game against Montedio Yamagata. Before that match, a win away at Ventforet Kofu.

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 JEF United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 5 times, drawn 0 and lost 0.

JEF United aren't scoring a lot here with only 5 goals from 6 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.
