The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Tokyo Verdy are in the 8th position while the guesting Fagiano Okayama worry at 17th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Tokyo Verdy form and stats
When playing at home in the J2-League, Tokyo Verdy have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 11 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Ajinomoto Stadium.
Tokyo's previous game was a J2-League match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Omiya Ardija (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Ventforet Kofu the opponent.
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 Tokyo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost two.
The manager H. Nagai will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ehime in only three days.
Tokyo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games. Tokyo have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
