JEF United Chiba

DWLWWL

JEF United Chiba will be wanting a better result here following a 2-0 J2 League defeat last time out to Montedio Yamagata.

Taiki Kato (22') and Ryonosuke Kabayama (85') scored for Montedio Yamagata.

A common theme in more recent JEF United Chiba games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

From their prior six clashes before this one, in 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have been a loser. We will see if that trend will end up being sustained here.

Heading into this contest, JEF United Chiba haven't lost in the league to Roasso Kumamoto in their previous 3 matches.
