6th position in the J2-League table for Giravanz Kitakyushu so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 11th-placed Zweigen Kanazawa visits Kitakyushu Stadium.
It's no vacation for neither Giravanz Kitakyushu nor Zweigen Kanazawa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's quite the trip for Zweigen Kanazawa when visiting Kitakyushu as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
Giravanz Kitakyushu form and stats
2-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for Giravanz Kitakyushu so far this season.
It's back home for Giravanz Kitakyushu, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating ThespaKusatsu Gunma away with the result 2-1. S. Machino and A. Disaro found the net in that victory. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Matsumoto Yamaga.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Giravanz Kitakyushu have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Machida Zelvia are coming to town in three days.
A decent goal production from Kitakyushu in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Kitakyushu have only let in 1 goal at home.
Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats
3-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Zweigen Kanazawa, who have the most scored goals (14) away in J2-League, in their J2-League matches away.
The supporters enjoyed Kanazawa's previous game versus Ehime (placed 19th), a J2-League 4-3 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Mito Hollyhock's place.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Ehime was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kanazawa playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were four Zweigen Kanazawa wins, three draws and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Kanazawa are hosting Kyoto Sanga in the J2-League only four days away.
