Tokushima Vortis form and stats
Tokushima Vortis have played three J2-League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Pocari Sweat Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Tokushima.
Tokushima Vortis enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Omiya Ardija's place. The match ended 2-0 with Bakenga and Nishiya scoring.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Roasso Kumamoto that ended 2-2.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Tokushima have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn four and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Tokushima Vortis as they are travelling to their away game against Nagoya Grampus in the Nabisco Cup. That match is three days after this one.
