Kyoto Sanga are aiming to crank up the pressure on the front runners when they travel to Machida Zelvia for a Japanese J1 League fixture.

The visitors have been a bit below their best lately but seem to do well on the road. They have enough quality to avoid defeat against the hosts, who have struggled in front of their fans in recent weeks.

Machida Zelvia Form


Machida Zelvia head into this clash in the middle of a rough patch having lost four of their last five J1 League matches. Go Kuroda's team suffered a 1-0 defeat to Kashima Antlers in their previous league fixture.
 
The hosts had made a solid start to the season before the recent slump and sitting ninth in the table, four points off the top three, will be keen to get things back on track. However, their home form still needs some work having picked up just one win from their last six matches at Machida Gion Stadium.

Machida Zelvia often show some attacking quality at home and have scored in six of their last nine matches in front of their fans. However, they have been shaky at the back and are without a clean sheet in five of the last six fixtures in that run. 

Kyoto Sanga Form


Kyoto Sanga are also coming off a defeat as they were beaten 3-2 at home by Cerezo Osaka last time out in the league. That was their second straight defeat following a 2-1 loss to Gamba Osaka in their previous fixture.

Despite those two results, Kyoto Sanga are not far off the pace in the J1 League table, sitting fourth, just four points off the pace. Cho Kwi-Jae's team will be desperate for a quick turnaround in results and are unbeaten in seven of their last nine away matches across all competitions, claiming six wins in that run.
 
Kyoto Sanga are solid going forward and have scored in their last 12 matches across all competitions. However, Like the hosts, they often struggle at the back and are without a clean sheet in the last five matches, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head


Kyoto Sanga have eight wins and three draws while Machida Zelvia have been victorious five times in 16 previous matches. However, the hosts claimed a 1-0 home victory in the last meeting between both teams.

Verdict

Kyoto Sanga have earned some good results on their travels and will be feeling confident ahead of Wednesday’s clash. With Machida Zelvia unconvincing at home, an away win or draw is expected here.

Both teams have scored in Kyoto Sanga's last five matches, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals and a repeat is on the cards in Wednesday’s clash.
