Renofa Yamaguchi form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Renofa Yamaguchi so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-9 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

There were no winners in Yamaguchi's previous match, a J2-League home game that ended 2-2 vs Mito Hollyhock (placed 10th). As mentioned above, Yamaguchi drew the match against Mito Hollyhock. Manager Y. Natsuka brought on Henik to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

A 0-1 defeat away at Albirex Niigata before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Yamaguchi as they have only managed to score 12 times from 16 away games in the league. Yamaguchi's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Renofa Yamaguchi - Kyoto 0-2 was the end result in these sides' last H2H fixture, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the previous ten meetings): Kyoto won three games, two matches ended in a draw and Renofa Yamaguchi have five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven
