Goal Statistics

Sanfrecce Hiroshima's defensive record is very strong, Michael Skibbe's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive J-League games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Kyoto Sanga makes sense in this context.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima have been steady in front of goal of late, scoring in 7 consecutive J-League outings. Their PG of 1.6 against Kyoto Sanga on Saturday suggests that run is likely to continue.
