Tokyo Verdy form and stats

The J2-League season is young and Tokyo Verdy have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Tokyo Verdy has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Tochigi for a J2-League game that ended a draw (1-1). Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Machida Zelvia.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Tokyo playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and one home win.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ventforet Kofu in just four days.
