The story so far in the J2-League for Tokyo Verdy at their home stadium (Ajinomoto Stadium) is 8 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats. Game days at Ajinomoto Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Tokyo as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

The home team returns to Ajinomoto Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Giravanz Kitakyushu (placed 20th) on their last time out; the J2-League game ended 2-2. No victory last time out for Tokyo, but the draw 2-2 felt nice for R. Sato who came on as a substitute in the 46th minute and scored two goals.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Fagiano Okayama (1-2).
