Kyoto Sanga form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Sanga Stadium by Kyocera as Kyoto Sanga have scored 33 goals to get 38 points from 18 games. The overall stats in the J2-League are 11-5-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Happy days for Kyoto in their previous game, a J2-League match away at Ehime (placed 20th) that ended with a 1-0 victory.

In the match before that, Kyoto Sanga hosted Renofa Yamaguchi and drew the game 1-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Kyoto's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won five matches, drawn one and lost zero.

The manager K. Cho will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Jubilo Iwata in only four days.

A decent goal production from Kyoto in their home games so far, with 33 goals from 18 league matches. Kyoto's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 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

There's been little loot from Omiya Ardija's travels as they have only collected 17 points from 18 away games in the J2-League. Omiya Ardija only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 8 draws.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a J2-League home defeat versus Jubilo Iwata with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Late heartbreak for Ardija in the Jubilo Iwata match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Before that, Ardija secured a home win against Giravanz Kitakyushu with the score 3-1.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Ardija when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning zero games.

After this away game Ardija return home for a J2-League game against Renofa Yamaguchi. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Ardija find the net regularly in their away games. 19 goals from 18 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Ardija have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The two teams involved met each other earlier this season: Omiya Ardija - Kyoto 1-2. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Kyoto victories, one draw and six Omiya Ardija wins. Over/under statistics; eight of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
