JEF United form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J2-League this season. JEF United have only managed 4 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses from their games here at Fukuda Denshi Arena. We have seen two home losses in a row now for JEF, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

JEF are returning here after visiting Renofa Yamaguchi in a J2-League game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Kléber (2) scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, JEF lost 0-1 at home to V-Varen Nagasaki.

The manager J. Yoon will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tokyo Verdy in only three days.

The JEF fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 18 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the JEF defense is not exactly impregnable. 28 goals conceded from 18 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
