Only a win will satisfy the Tokushima Vortis supporters in this Pocari Sweat Stadium clash with Machida Zelvia, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the J2-League table.

It's no vacation for neither Tokushima nor Machida Zelvia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Tokushima Vortis form and stats

Tokushima Vortis, who have the the best goal difference (+30) in J2-League, have collected 30 points from their J2-League home games so far after 8-6-3. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Tokushima Vortis after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Naoto Kamifukumoto not having conceded a league goal in 227 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager R. Rodríguez Suárez led his Tokushima to a defeat in the J2-League match away at Kyoto Sanga. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Pocari Sweat Stadium. Before that match, a win away at Montedio Yamagata.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Tokushima as they are travelling to their away game against Zweigen Kanazawa in the J2-League. That match is four days after this one.

The Tokushima fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 17 matches. From these home matches, Tokushima have conceded only 10 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Machida Zelvia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Machida Zelvia so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 4-3-9 (win-draw-lose).

Machida Zelvia are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Omiya Ardija (placed 16th). A loss against Matsumoto Yamaga was the result prior to that, in a home game.

A new game in only four days for Machida, the J2-League home match versus ThespaKusatsu Gunma. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Machida Zelvia as they have only managed to score 13 times from 16 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Machida Zelvia have conceded 24 goals in these games.
