Kyoto Sanga, Recent FormKyoto Sanga will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Nagoya Grampus who sit so many places above them in the table. During that encounter they had 51% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 16 shots on goal.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Kwi-jae Cho where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 7 in the same period. The art of scoring goals has eluded them, having failed to find the back of the net for the past 4 games in a row. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Cho will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
FC Tokyo, Recent FormFC Tokyo manager Albert Puig will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Kashiwa Reysol. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Kashiwa Reysol's tally of 3 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
On an individual basis, Ryoma Watanabe will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in FC Tokyo's last 6 league games.
The 2-0 victory which FC Tokyo recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
FC Tokyo have managed to keep a clean sheet against Kyoto Sanga in each of their previous 2 meetings. FC Tokyo have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with Kyoto Sanga. FC Tokyo have a decent scoring record against Kyoto Sanga in recent times, having hit the back of the net 13 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
Kyoto Sanga will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've faced FC Tokyo in the league.
With no real injury worries, Kyoto Sanga manager Kwi-jae Cho will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
FC Tokyo manager Albert Puig has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
