7th position in the J2-League table for Kyoto Sanga so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 13th-placed Tokyo Verdy visits.

Kyoto Sanga form and stats

Kyoto Sanga are steadily winning J2-League games and points here. 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats is the summary from 15 games. It’s been three wins in a row for Kyoto Sanga here, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

The fans are hoping that Kyoto will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the J2-League game against Tochigi (placed 8th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fagiano Okayama in a game that was won 2-1.

Playing away, Tokyo Verdy have won 5 games, drawn 6 and suffered 5 defeats in the J2-League this season.

The schedule is very tough for Tokyo now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A J2-League game at ThespaKusatsu Gunma is waiting in only four days.

Tokyo Verdy have scored 19 goals on their travels this season, from 16 away games in the league. 20 goals have been conceded by Tokyo in these games.
