Júbilo Iwata form and stats

4 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Júbilo Iwata playing as the away team in the J2-League this season. Júbilo Iwata has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

K. Oi, R. Uehara and K. Fujikawa scored in Júbilo's previous match, the home game against Machida Zelvia that ended 3-2. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Giravanz Kitakyushu's place.

An amazing comeback from Júbilo last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to K. Fujikawa scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager F. Jubero Carmona when K. Fujikawa scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 58th minute. The end of the last match, against Machida Zelvia, was very satisfying as K. Fujikawa scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Júbilo as they have only managed to score 18 times from 20 away games in the league. 25 goals have been conceded by Júbilo in these games.
