It's early days in the J2-League and both Kyoto Sanga and Júbilo Iwata are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Kyoto Sanga form and stats
A J2-League draw at home so far for Kyoto Sanga. Last season their home statistics were 12 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from 21 matches.
The Kyoto goalkeeper Tomoya Wakahara is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 247 minutes without conceding a goal in the J2-League.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Matsumoto Yamaga in the J2-League last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that match, a win away at Sagamihara.
This is expected to be a close game, with Kyoto Sanga perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kyoto as a small favourite), we find ten games. Kyoto Sanga has won three of these, drawn three and lost four.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kyoto Sanga as they are travelling to their away game against Omiya Ardija in the J2-League. That match is three days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Kyoto Sanga at home in the league. 0 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Júbilo Iwata form and stats
Júbilo Iwata have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the J2-League were 5 victories, 9 draws and 7 defeats from 21 fixtures.
Lukian and H. Yamada (2) scored in Júbilo's previous match, the home game against Mito Hollyhock that ended 3-2. Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Machida Zelvia.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Júbilo Iwata in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Júbilo, zero draws and three defeats.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Júbilo Iwata has managed 0 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.
