When playing at home in the J2-League, Giravanz Kitakyushu have managed 8 wins, 3 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 16 games. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Kitakyushu, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

No payout for Kitakyushu in their previous match, an away game at Albirex Niigata that ended in defeat 0-1. Ahead of that match, Kitakyushu lost 1-2 at home to Omiya Ardija.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Kitakyushu as they have a new game in only four days, a J2-League match thankfully also at home. Tochigi are visiting.

Kitakyushu has scored 21 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 17 goals have been conceded.
