Kagoshima United form and stats

Kagoshima United have only collected 9 points from their away games in the J2-League, after 2-3-11 (16 played). With the Kagoshima United losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Kagoshima United have lost on their last two travels.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a J2-League home defeat versus Kyoto Sanga with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 1-3 defeat away at Tochigi before that.

Kagoshima United find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 16 goals from 16 away fixtures in the league. The Kagoshima United manager Kim Jong-Song has some worries about the defense as 34 goals have been conceded in these travels.
