Competition: Japan J2-League
Date: Sat 20.July
Match begins: 10:00 (UTC)
Venue: Kagoshima Kamoike Stadium (15000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 22nd place.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for Gifu when visiting Kagoshima United as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.

Kagoshima United form and stats

Kagoshima United have played 10 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-0-6 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Kagoshima United are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The fans are hoping that Kagoshima United will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-6 away loss in the J2-League game against Omiya Ardija. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Fagiano Okayama.

The Kagoshima United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.

Gifu form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gifu, who have the fewest points (1) away in J2-League, so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-7 (win-draw-lose).

Gifu delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against JEF United in their previous match; a J2-League game. Preceding that game was the away victory against Avispa Fukuoka with the score of 3-1.

Gifu are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels and have only managed 3 goals from 8 away games. The Gifu manager T. Oki has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Gifu - Kagoshima United 0-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last one meeting): Kagoshima United won 0 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Gifu has 0 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 0 / 1
