Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats

Matsumoto Yamaga's struggle is real here at Naganoken Matsumotodaira Wide Area Park General Stadium with only 10 points collected from 12 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 2-4-6. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts. With ten home games in a row without a win, the Matsumoto Yamaga fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Sagan Tosu game long ago, can be stopped today.

The points were shared in Matsumoto Yamaga's previous game, also at home. Visiting Nagoya Grampus travelled back with a point after a 1-1 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Shimizu S-Pulse (0-1).

Matsumoto Yamaga have scored 8 goals here in 12 matches, not a lot. Matsumoto Yamaga have conceded 15 in these home matches.
