7 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Tokyo Verdy playing as the away team in the J2-League this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Tokyo Verdy have lost on their last two travels.

The attacking players of Tokyo have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 201 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Tokyo in their previous game, as they lost their J2-League-match, hosting V-Varen Nagasaki, 0-2. Prior to that match, the Tokyo manager H. Nagai faced defeat when travelling to Machida Zelvia and losing 0-1.

A new game in only four days for Tokyo, the J2-League home match versus Mito Hollyhock. Busy days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Tokyo Verdy have scored 24 goals in 20 league games away. As opposed to that, Tokyo have seen the ball go into their own net 26 times on the road.
