An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 22nd and the visitors in 18th place.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Gifu form and stats

Gifu's struggle is real here at Nagaragawa Stadium with only 13 points collected from 14 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 3-4-7. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Gifu fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Ryūkyū game long ago, can be stopped today.

The Gifu crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Avispa Fukuoka here at Nagaragawa Stadium in a J2-League match. Before that match, a win away at V-Varen Nagasaki.

The Gifu fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 14 in 14 matches. Gifu have conceded 22 from these games.
