The J2-League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Tokyo Verdy and Mito Hollyhock are placed 20th and 6th respectively.
- Tokyo Verdy have the most conceded goals (15) in J2-League
- Mito Hollyhock have the most matches over the total-line (3) in J2-League
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Tokyo Verdy form and stats
Tokyo Verdy 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. Tokyo are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Ajinomoto Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
As you see from the result above, Tokyo suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
This is expected to be a close game, with Tokyo Verdy perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tokyo Verdy as a small favourite), we find eight games. Tokyo has won four of these, drawn three and lost one.
The Tokyo fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Tokyo have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Mito Hollyhock form and stats
Things could have gone better for Mito Hollyhock in their J2-League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Mito Hollyhock goalkeeper Ayumi Niekawa is eager to challenge this, with his 195 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hollyhock playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were five Mito Hollyhock wins, five draws and six defeats.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Mito Hollyhock has managed 4 goals and let in 4 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - two - three (Tokyo wins - draws - Mito Hollyhock wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
