Vegalta Sendai

LLLDDL ⚠

Vegalta Sendai will be hoping to bounce back here after the 2-1 J1 League defeat last time out to Consadole Sapporo.

In that game, Vegalta Sendai had 35% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 2 on target. The only player to score for Vegalta Sendai was Chihiro Kato (16'). Consadole Sapporo got 17 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Tsuyoshi Ogashiwa (55') and Jay Bothroyd (88') scored for Consadole Sapporo.

It has been seldom in recent times that Vegalta Sendai haven’t conceded. In fact, Vegalta have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 9 goals in the process. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this next game, though.

Their past results show that Vegalta Sendai:

• have not beaten Kashiwa Reysol in their last 2 league games.
• have not won at home in their last 20 matches in the league. It's simply not good enough.
