Struggling Gifu will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Kashiwa Reysol in the upcoming league round. It’s 22nd vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Gifu and Kashiwa Reysol.

Gifu form and stats

With {3 J2-League wins}, 4 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Gifu are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight 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. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Gifu to get some points in this home game.

Gifu's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-4 versus Kashiwa Reysol. Heartbreak before that as Gifu lost 1-2 at Zweigen Kanazawa's place.

Gifu have scored 14 league goals here from 15 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 26 goals have been conceded.

Kashiwa Reysol form and stats

9 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Kashiwa Reysol, who have the fewest conceded goals (19) in J2-League, playing as the away team in the J2-League this season. Kashiwa Reysol has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

It's the second away game in a row for Kashiwa Reysol, but there's smiles all around after the 4-0 victory versus Gifu in the J2-League last time out. Prior to that result Kashiwa Reysol won their away game at V-Varen Nagasaki. The scoreline was 2-1.

Kashiwa Reysol find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 23 goals from 16 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on Kashiwa Reysol as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.
