Avispa Fukuoka are welcoming Ryūkyū for another important game after their 0-2 result against 14th-placed Renofa Yamaguchi.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Ryūkyū have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Ryūkyū form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ryūkyū, who have the most conceded goals (65) in J2-League, so far with only {8 J2-League points} returning home. The records show 1-5-10 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Ryūkyū have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 15 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Omiya Ardija game. The last three matches for Ryūkyū have all ended in a draw.

Ryūkyū has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Machida Zelvia for a J2-League game that ended a draw (0-0). Ahead of that game was the 3-3 draw at home against Montedio Yamagata.

Ryūkyū are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 16 games (in the league). The Ryūkyū manager Y. Higuchi has some worries about the defense as 37 goals have been conceded in these travels.
