Sagan Tosu, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Gamba Osaka in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Sagan Tosu. They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Gamba Osaka's tally of 22 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 10 of their 13 games this season.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Recent FormSanfrecce Hiroshima manager Michael Skibbe will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Kashiwa Reysol. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Kashiwa Reysol had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Pieros Sotiriou will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Sanfrecce Hiroshima's last 6 league games.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Sagan Tosu who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
Playing away from home, Sanfrecce have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Sagan.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium in the league, but Sagan will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
With no real injury worries, Sagan manager Kenta Kawai will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Sanfrecce manager Michael Skibbe has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
