Albirex Niigata, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Kyoto Sanga in their last league game, Albirex Niigata will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Kyoto Sanga's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Rikizo Matsuhashi will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
FC Tokyo, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Machida Zelvia will have left the FC Tokyo squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Machida Zelvia, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
FC Tokyo will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
The FC Tokyo travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Ryotaro Araki, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
It's been a long time since Albirex at home has managed to find the back of the FC Tokyo net, having failed to score against them in their last 7 encounters at Denka Big Swan Stadium. Playing away from home, FC Tokyo have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Albirex. In their past 5 meetings, FC Tokyo's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Albirex will have to take their chances when they come.
FC Tokyo have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Albirex in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 8 meetings.
With no real injury worries, Albirex manager Rikizo Matsuhashi will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
FC Tokyo manager Peter Cklamovski has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
