Tokushima Vortis form and stats

The hosts won their first J2-League game here at Pocari Sweat Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Tokushima Vortis last season were 12 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from 21 games.

Tokushima faced defeat in their previous match, away at Ehime (3-4). Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Tokyo Verdy.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Ehime) as a comfortable lead 3-0 was completely ruined into a loss 3-4. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The defeat against Ehime was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored six minutes into stoppage time (by T. Nishioka).

Early season league goal statistics from Tokushima Vortis's 1 home game: 3 goals, 0 conceded.
