Verdy's equivalent sample is thinner: seven wins, five draws and eight losses, with 22 goals for and 29 against. More is going in against them than they're managing at the other end.

Neither record is a pure league form guide, but the gap in output is still fairly clear.

Comparative Team Statistics: Tokyo Verdy vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima

Head-to-head

Hiroshima have won four of the last five meetings between these two, including a 3-0 away win at Verdy in August 2025. Verdy's only win in that spell came at home in August 2024, 1-0.

These games stretch back to 2024, so they're not a guide to current form, but they do show a recent pattern favouring Hiroshima.

Where they stand

In this run of matches, Hiroshima sit third with 17 points from eight games, built on five wins, two draws and just one loss. Verdy are down in 19th with only four points from the same number of matches, having failed to win any of their eight.

That's a big gap over a short sample, though it only covers these two clubs rather than the full league table.

Key men

A. Suzuki has been Hiroshima's standout attacker, with six goals in eight appearances plus two assists. Haller has added three goals of his own, and Kato leads the assist chart with three.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima:

Best scorers:

A. Suzuki - 6

S. Haller - 3

Best assist providers:

M. Kato - 3

A. Suzuki - 2

S. Higashi - 2

Penalty cards:

A. Suzuki x 2

There's no equivalent breakdown available for Verdy's squad here, so we can't say who's carrying their attacking threat.

Suzuki's involvement in both goals and assists makes him worth watching if he starts.

How this one could go

Put it together and Hiroshima look the sharper side by some distance right now, both in the table and in the head-to-head record. Verdy's home form in this run hasn't been strong either, with more losses than wins.

None of that guarantees a specific outcome, since squads can change and there's still a couple of weeks between this snapshot and kickoff.
