Júbilo Iwata form and stats

Júbilo Iwata, who have the most points (10) at home in J2-League, have played 4 J2-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-0 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Yamaha Stadium.

Júbilo's last game was hosting Giravanz Kitakyushu (placed 14th) and winning 2-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Avispa Fukuoka.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Júbilo have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 19 matches with the results: Won six, drawn seven and lost six.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Júbilo Iwata as they are travelling to their away game against Ryūkyū in the J2-League. That match is four days after this one.

Júbilo have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Yamaha Stadium with 7 goals in 4 league matches. Júbilo have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.

Tokushima Vortis form and stats

Tokushima Vortis, who have the the best goal difference (+7) in J2-League, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the J2-League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

The manager R. Rodríguez Suárez was unhappy after their last game, a J2-League match played at their home ground Pocari Sweat Stadium. Tokushima suffered a 0-1 loss to Avispa Fukuoka (placed 6th). That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Renofa Yamaguchi.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Tokushima Vortis in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Tokushima, one draw and one defeat.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tokushima manager R. Rodríguez Suárez as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Giravanz Kitakyushu.

It's early days yet, but Tokushima Vortis has scored 6 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head
