Match begins: 09:30 (UTC)
Venue: Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium (10189 seats)

Having a home game is comfortable and nice for Ryūkyū, but Machida Zelvia are fully motivated and qualified to go home as winners. What happens today?

Insights:
  • Ryūkyū have the most conceded goals (43) in J2-League
  • Machida Zelvia have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Machida Zelvia have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither Ryūkyū nor Machida Zelvia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Ryūkyū form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J2-League this season. Ryūkyū have only managed 1 win, 5 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium. It's trouble wherever Ryūkyū are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Ryūkyū's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Machida Zelvia (placed 7th).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Fagiano Okayama.

Ryūkyū are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. Ryūkyū have conceded 23 from these games. When Ryūkyū hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Omiya Ardija, Zweigen Kanazawa, ThespaKusatsu Gunma, Tochigi, Blaublitz Akita, Renofa Yamaguchi and Grulla Morioka), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
