Comparative Team Statistics: Kawasaki Frontale vs Fagiano Okayama

A history of tight, low-scoring meetings

The recent head-to-head record is notably tight. Their last two J1 League meetings finished 1-1 and 0-0, and an Emperor Cup tie back in 2019 was also goalless.

That's three draws from three recorded meetings, none of them high-scoring. It's an old and limited sample, but it does suggest these two don't tend to open up against each other.

Level on points, close in the table

Kawasaki sit 7th with 13 points from 8 games, built on 3 wins and 4 draws. Fagiano are 9th with the same 13 points, but from a more win-heavy record of 4 wins and 3 losses.

So despite the different league position, there's barely anything separating them on the table right now.

Key men and cards to watch

Marcinho has been Kawasaki's main source of goals, with 6 in just 8 matches, well clear of anyone else in this data. Fagiano's top scorer, K. Kawano, has 3 in 5 appearances, a decent rate but a smaller sample.
