Tochigi form and stats

Tochigi's results here at Tochigi Green Stadium in the J2-League have been very modest with 2 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

Tochigi faced defeat in their previous match, away at Albirex Niigata (0-3). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at K. Yano for missing a penalty kick versus Albirex Niigata in the 85th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Kashima Antlers (0-3).

Tochigi aren't scoring a lot here at Tochigi Green Stadium in the league, with only 9 goals from 10 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Tochigi's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times.
