Júbilo Iwata form and stats

Júbilo Iwata have played 20 J2-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 10-6-4 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Júbilo bring valid hopes of a third.

Júbilo are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Giravanz Kitakyushu. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Omiya Ardija.

Júbilo are traveling soon after this match as the J2-League match at Tochigi awaits in four days.

A decent goal production from Júbilo in their home games so far, with 35 goals from 20 league matches. Júbilo are not conceding a lot of goals here at Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 19 from 20 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Machida Zelvia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Machida Zelvia so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 4-4-11 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

The Machida goalkeeper Koki Fukui is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Machida won their last game, 1-0 versus Mito Hollyhock played at home. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Tokyo Verdy.

The schedule is very tough for Machida Zelvia now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A J2-League game at Ryūkyū is waiting in only four days.

The attacking power of Machida when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 19 league matches away. Machida Zelvia struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 30 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Machida Zelvia - Júbilo 0-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
