The J2-League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Albirex Niigata and Montedio Yamagata promises to be an interesting one.
It's no vacation for neither Albirex nor Montedio Yamagata 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.
Albirex Niigata form and stats
Only two J2-League home games for Albirex Niigata so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Albirex travelled for their previous game, a trip to Machida Zelvia that ended 3-3. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Matsumoto Yamaga.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Machida Zelvia as S. Homma's goal in the 89th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The hometeam coach Albert Puig made a successful contribution in the game against Machida Zelvia, bringing on S. Homma who scored the equalizer in the 3-3 draw.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Albirex Niigata at home in the league. 4 on target and 5 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
