Sanfrecce Hiroshima manager Michael Skibbe will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against FC Tokyo.  During that encounter they had 59% possession and had 18 attempts on goal with 7 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 10 shots on goal.  

Skibbe will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches overall.  

They have been performing well at EDION Stadium Hiroshima recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.

In their last match Sagan Tosu enforced their superiority over Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo with a 4-0 home win.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo had 12 shots on goal with 3 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 10 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

There will be mixed feelings from Sagan, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.  

Cayman Togashi will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Sanfrecce Hiroshima in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Sagan Tosu.
