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 Ventforet Kofu are placed 20th and 10th respectively.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Tokyo and Ventforet Kofu.
Tokyo Verdy form and stats
The first J2-League game here at Ajinomoto Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Tokyo Verdy's home game statistics were 9 victories, 7 draws and 5 defeats from 21 games.
In their previous game, the manager H. Nagai led his Tokyo to a defeat in the J2-League match away at Omiya Ardija. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Ajinomoto Stadium. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Tochigi the opponent.
The manager H. Nagai will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to JEF United in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Tokyo Verdy at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Ventforet Kofu form and stats

A new game in only four days for Ventforet, the J2-League home match versus Omiya Ardija. Busy days.
