The visiting Tokushima Vortis side should be favourites in this visit to Renofa Yamaguchi, as the away team holds a 26 point advantage from their 27 league games this season.

It's no vacation for neither Yamaguchi nor Tokushima Vortis as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Tokushima Vortis form and stats

Tokushima Vortis's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Tokushima Vortis, who have the the best goal difference (+20) in J2-League, collect 29 points from their 13 away matches in the J2-League. 9 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Giravanz Kitakyushu game have they lost an away game, meaning Tokushima Vortis has taken points from nine away matches in a row.

Home advantage was not enough for Tokushima Vortis in their previous game, as they lost their J2-League-match, hosting Ventforet Kofu, 0-1. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Fagiano Okayama that ended 1-1.

A new game in only four days for Tokushima, the J2-League home match versus Albirex Niigata. Busy days.

Tokushima are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 21 times in 13 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Tokushima as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.
