Omiya Ardija form and stats

The visitors are W5-D3-L8 on the road this term. That's in the J2-League.

Ardija might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Ventforet Kofu proved too strong as Omiya Ardija slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at NACK5 Stadium Ōmiya. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Giravanz Kitakyushu.

Ardija were so close to getting something from the game against Ventforet Kofu, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.

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

Omiya Ardija find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 16 away fixtures in the league. Ardija have conceded 23 goals in these away matches.
