Tochigi form and stats

Tochigi's struggle is real here at Tochigi Green Stadium with only 13 points collected from 16 J2-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-7-7. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Tochigi, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Tochigi fans got no joy from their last match, a J2-League game also here at Tochigi Green Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Avispa Fukuoka (placed 18th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Gifu that finished 0-0.

Tochigi aren't scoring a lot here at Tochigi Green Stadium in the league, with only 9 goals from 16 games. 17 goals have been conceded.
