      Sanfrecce Hiroshima have hit a solid run of form lately, stringing together multiple winning results with consistent attacking output that sees them find the back of the net in almost every fixture.

      Recent form has been far from consistent for Sanfrecce Hiroshima, who suffered a recent defeat and have not hit their expected level across their latest run of games. While their attacking output has stayed reliably sharp for most of their recent outings, the side’s notoriously fragile backline remains a major flaw, and a spell of poor results against opponents dented their team morale even as their overall squad quality has seen a clear uptick over the past few months. As for Iwaki FC, their defensive organization has improved notably in recent matches, shoring up what used to be their biggest weak point. With both sides posting alternating stretches of strong and underwhelming form lately, it remains to be seen which side can seize the upper hand right from the start of this upcoming fixture.
