JEF United Chiba
DLDDLL ⚠
JEF United Chiba will be looking for an improved result here following a 1-0 J2 League defeat in their last game at the hands of Kataller Toyama.
Tsubasa Yoshihira (75') was the scorer for Kataller Toyama.
A common theme in more recent JEF United Chiba games is the number of nil scores.
From their prior sextet of clashes before this one, in 5 of them a wager on both teams scoring would've been a loser. Regardless, time will tell whether that pattern might continue on here in this match.
A look at their previous results shows us that JEF United Chiba:
- have not registered a win against Sagan Tosu in their last 4 league games.
- are without a win at home for the past 4 league games. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.
