Blaublitz Akita form and stats

3-9-5 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for Blaublitz Akita, who have the fewest scored goals (11) at home in J2-League, so far this season. The Blaublitz Akita manager K. Yoshida might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

A good away victory last time out for Blaublitz, who won 2-1 against Albirex Niigata (placed 5th).

Preceding that match was the home game against Machida Zelvia that was lost 0-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Blaublitz Akita perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Blaublitz as a small favourite), we find nine games. Blaublitz Akita has won three of these, drawn two and lost four.

The manager K. Yoshida will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sagamihara in only four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Blaublitz here at Akita City Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 17 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Blaublitz's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times.

Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats

There's been little loot from Zweigen Kanazawa's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 17 away games in the J2-League. Zweigen Kanazawa only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 4 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Zweigen Kanazawa, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Kanazawa has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Sagamihara for a J2-League game that ended a draw (1-1). As mentioned above, Zweigen Kanazawa drew the match against Sagamihara. Manager M. Yanagishita brought on K. Sugiura to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

A 1-2 loss hosting Ventforet Kofu before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Kanazawa in our archives, and the results are: one win for Zweigen Kanazawa, three draws and four defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Zweigen Kanazawa are hosting Ehime in the J2-League only four days away.

Zweigen Kanazawa have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 17 goals have been scored. Zweigen Kanazawa have conceded 25 goals in these away matches.
