Omiya Ardija are yet to win a single game at their own Nack5 Stadium this season, but Brazilian striker Rafael is determined to find some home comfort as soon as possible.
The current campaign has been a curious one for Omiya, whose league position of 10th fails to tell the full story of a team excelling on its travels but puzzlingly unable to find the answers at home.
Five away wins have been offset by five defeats and four draws in Saitama, and with the season passing the halfway point last weekend the situation is beginning to cast a sizable shadow over Jun Suzuki's side.
