Kyoto Sanga
LWDWLL
Kyoto Sanga will be hoping for a better result after the 1-0 J1 League loss in their previous game against Tokyo Verdy.
In that game, Kyoto Sanga managed 44% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 3 on target. For their opponents, Tokyo Verdy got 12 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Yuta Arai (94') scored for Tokyo Verdy.
It has been all too rare in recent games that Kyoto Sanga have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Kyoto Sanga have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals on the way. Putting that to one side, we must now wait to see if that pattern will be replicated in this upcoming match.
Ahead of this meeting, Kyoto Sanga are without a home win in the past 2 league games.

We feel that in this game, FC Tokyo are certainly able to put one past this Kyoto Sanga outfit, although it isn’t expected to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We reckon that it will be a narrow 2-1 win for Kyoto Sanga at the end of the 90 minutes. There looks to be little in this one.
