Mito Hollyhock and Tokyo Verdy have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the J2-League.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Mito Hollyhock form and stats
2-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for Mito Hollyhock so far this season.
The home team returns to K's denki Stadium Mito after being equal after 90 minutes with Kyoto Sanga (placed 5th) on their last time out; the J2-League game ended 2-2. Heartbreak before that as Mito Hollyhock lost 1-3 at Fagiano Okayama's place.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Mito Hollyhock have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won three times, drawn four and lost two.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hollyhock as they are travelling to their away game against Avispa Fukuoka in the J2-League. That match is three days after this one.
The Mito Hollyhock manager T. Akiba has got the team scoring with 12 from 6 home games in the league. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Tokyo Verdy form and stats
2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Tokyo Verdy playing as the away team in the J2-League this season.
It's the second away game in a row for Tokyo, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Avispa Fukuoka (placed 11th) in the J2-League last time out. A loss against Ryukyu was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Tokyo are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, four draws and three defeats. From a total of ten matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as Tokyo are hosting Matsumoto Yamaga in the J2-League only three days away.
Tokyo find the net regularly in their away games. 6 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. Tokyo have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Hollyhock three wins, two draws and Tokyo Verdy five victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
