It's no vacation for neither Albirex Niigata nor Ryūkyū 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

Ryūkyū have only collected 6 points from their away games after 1-3-5 (9 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Ryūkyū have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Omiya Ardija game. Recent form does not give Ryūkyū much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Albirex Niigata will be a tough nut to crack.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Ryūkyū, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Albirex Niigata. Prior to that match, the Ryūkyū manager Y. Higuchi faced defeat when travelling to Mito Hollyhock and losing 1-3.

Ryūkyū have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, 9 away games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Ryūkyū have conceded 14 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
