Júbilo Iwata form and stats

9-6-4 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for Júbilo Iwata so far this season.

Júbilo Iwata are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Mito Hollyhock. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting JEF United.

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

Júbilo Iwata have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa with 33 goals in 19 league matches. Júbilo's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Omiya Ardija form and stats

The visitors are W6-D3-L10 on the road this term. That's in the J2-League.

Omiya Ardija's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Ehime that finished 3-3. A 0-1 defeat away at Avispa Fukuoka before that.

It looked so good for Ardija vs Ehime, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 3-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. As you can tell from the result, the match against Ehime was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Omiya Ardija 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, one draw and three defeats. From a total of four matches.

Ardija are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 19 away goals from 19 games (in the league). 27 goals have been conceded by Ardija in these games.

Head 2 Head

Júbilo Iwata and Omiya Ardija have met before this season: Omiya Ardija - Júbilo Iwata 2-2. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Júbilo, five draws and three wins for Omiya Ardija. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
