Giravanz Kitakyushu form and stats

10-4-5 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for Giravanz Kitakyushu so far this season.

Giravanz Kitakyushu lost their last game at Renofa Yamaguchi (placed 22nd) after a 1-4 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Tokushima Vortis (1-4).

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

Kitakyushu are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 26 goals in 19 games. 19 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
