The visiting V-Varen Nagasaki side should be favourites in this visit to JEF United, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 34 league games this season.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

JEF United form and stats

JEF United's struggle is real here at Fukuda Denshi Arena with only 16 points collected from 17 J2-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-4-9.

JEF enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Albirex Niigata's place. The match ended 2-0 with Kléber and Alan Pinheiro scoring. A strong away win before that one, visiting Matsumoto Yamaga and winning 3-2.

The manager J. Yoon will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Renofa Yamaguchi in only four days.

The JEF fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 17 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 27 goals have been conceded.
