Albirex Niigata, Recent FormLosing 1-0 home to Cerezo Osaka won't leave the Albirex Niigata squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 11 places above them in the league. During that encounter they had 65% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 8 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Rikizo Matsuhashi will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, Recent FormConfidence will be high amongst the Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo players after their welcome 1-0 home win last time out against Gamba Osaka. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Gamba Osaka's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
They have found the net 4 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 15 goals in that same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Having clocked up 5 defeats from their previous 6 matches, recent form is something they will certainly be looking to change.
On an individual basis, Musashi Suzuki will be looking to cause Albirex Niigata some problems having scored 4 goals in Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo's last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Albirex Niigata that came out on top with a 0-1 win.
Goals should be on the cards for Albirex in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Consa in their last 10 meetings together.
It's been a long time since Albirex have lost this fixture, having picked up points against HC Sapporo in 10 league games in a row.
With no real injury worries, Albirex manager Rikizo Matsuhashi will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
HC Sapporo manager Mihailo Petrović has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
