Avispa Fukuoka, Recent FormThe Avispa Fukuoka players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Kawasaki Frontale recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. During that encounter they had 40% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 11 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Shigetoshi Hasebe will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. His back line has certainly underperformed, only making 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home matches.
They have had an excellent run of form at Best Denki Stadium recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Yuya Yamagishi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Avispa Fukuoka's last 6 league games.
FC Tokyo, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 home win over Albirex Niigata in their last league game, FC Tokyo will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Albirex Niigata had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Shuto Abe has given the travelling FC Tokyo support something to shout about on the road.
