Preview
Tokyo and Kyoto meet at Ajinomoto Stadium, in a match for the 27th round of the J1 League. Kyoto Sanga got a home win by (3‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 31‑05‑2025. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins in the last 3 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 03‑05‑2024, in a match for the J1 League, FC Tokyo won by (2‑1). The goals of the match were scored by Diego Oliveira (21' ) and K. Bangnagande (4' ), for Tokyo, and by S. Hiraga (79' ), for Kyoto. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Tokyo

The home team is currently in the 15th position of the league, with 30 points won, after 8 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Kashima Antlers, by (0‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Shonan Bellmare, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 18 conceded. For the league, Tokyo won 14 points out of 30 possible points, after 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in the last 10 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (7 out of 13 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 14 of their 26 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 13 home matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 10 of their 16 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

FC Tokyo come into this clash under pressure following recent results, as their campaign has fallen short of expectations and the team needs a response to avoid slipping further down the table. Playing at home, they are likely to adopt a higher intensity, but defensive lapses that have been undermining their performances will need to be corrected. The instability is a concern, and the squad knows that any mistake could prove costly against a high-quality opponent. A victory would be crucial to restore confidence and move further away from the relegation zone.

Confirmed Lineup: Seung-gyu Kim , Alexander Scholz, Yuto Nagatomo, Kashif Bangnagande, Teppei Oka, Kei Koizumi , Kento Hashimoto, Kota Tawaratsumida, Teruhito Nakagawa, Leon Nozawa, M. Nagakura.
Coach: R. Matsuhashi.

Analysis Kyoto

The away team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 48 points won, after 14 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Nagoya Grampus, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Tokyo Verdy, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Kyoto has a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 17 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 10 of the last 14 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 26 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times but have turned the score around in 5. In the last 14 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 20 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Kyoto Sanga are enjoying a much more consistent period, showing regularity and competitiveness in the fight for the top positions. The team demonstrates organisation and efficiency, adapting well to the rhythm of the match and making the most of the chances created. Confidence is a key factor, as recent positive results have strengthened the squad to remain firmly in the top-tier battle. Even away from home, they enter as favourites due to their current good form and the balance they have shown throughout the campaign.

Confirmed Lineup: Gakuji Ota, Kyo Sato, Yoshinori Suzuki, Yuta Miyamoto, Shinnosuke Fukuda, Taiki Hirato, Shohei Takeda, Temma Matsuda, Shimpei Fukuoka, Taichi Hara, Rafael Elias da Silva Bataglia.
Coach: K. Cho.
