JEF United form and stats

JEF United's struggle is real here at Fukuda Denshi Arena with only 16 points collected from 16 J2-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-4-8.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Ehime in the J2-League last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Fagiano Okayama (2-3).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for JEF United as they are travelling to their away game against Matsumoto Yamaga in the J2-League. That match is three days after this one.

JEF are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 16 games. On the other hand, JEF have conceded 22 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Montedio Yamagata are hosting Omiya Ardija in the J2-League only three days away.
