Machida Zelvia form and stats

Machida Zelvia's struggle is real here at Machida Athletic Stadium with only 12 points collected from 14 J2-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-6-6. With twelve home games in a row without a win, the Machida Zelvia fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Ehime game long ago, can be stopped today.

Machida Zelvia are returning here after visiting Fagiano Okayama in a J2-League game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at Tochigi that finished 0-0.

The Machida Zelvia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 14 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 25 goals have been conceded.

JEF United form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for JEF United so far with only {15 J2-League points} returning home. The records show 3-6-6 (win-draw-lose). With the JEF United losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, JEF United are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a J2-League home defeat versus Ventforet Kofu with 0-3 on the scoreboard. A 1-2 defeat away at Omiya Ardija before that.

The visitors have scored 14 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 19 goals have been conceded by JEF United in these games.
