Sagan Tosu, Recent FormAn important point secured against Kashiwa Reysol will have left Sagan Tosu quite happy with their 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 3 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Kashiwa Reysol, who had 19 shots on goal with 6 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Kenta Kawai will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 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. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
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.
On an individual basis, Marcelo Ryan will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Sagan Tosu's last 6 league games.
Tokyo Verdy, Recent FormA point gained from their 0-0 draw against Avispa Fukuoka in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Tokyo Verdy. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Avispa Fukuoka who had 13 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 8 of their 10 games overall.
There will be mixed feelings from Tokyo Verdy, while they've been undefeated in their last 7 league games, they've only manage a drawn in 4 of them.
Itsuki Someno will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Tokyo Verdy.

Sagan has won the last 2 games they've played against Tokyo Verdy in the league.
