A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Júbilo Iwata fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and Mito Hollyhock's 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Júbilo Iwata and Mito Hollyhock.
Júbilo Iwata form and stats
Júbilo Iwata, who have the most scored goals (18) at home in J2-League, have collected 17 points from their J2-League home games so far after 5-2-2.
It's back home for Júbilo, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Albirex Niigata away with the result 3-1. S. Nakano (2) found the net in that victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Tokyo Verdy.
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 Júbilo Iwata have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost two.
There will be little rest for Júbilo after this match as they are travelling to V-Varen Nagasaki for a J2-League game in only four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (18 in 9 games), Júbilo Iwata's attacking play is working. 9 goals have been conceded.
Mito Hollyhock form and stats
The visitors are W3-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the J2-League. Hollyhock love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Hollyhock's previous game was their home loss versus Tochigi (1-2). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Tokushima Vortis.
Hollyhock were so close to getting something from the game against Tochigi, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.
Hollyhock are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and one defeat. From a total of one match.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Renofa Yamaguchi in just four days.
Hollyhock have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. 9 goals have been conceded by Hollyhock in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Júbilo, one draw and one win for Mito Hollyhock. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Júbilo Iwata missing players
