Season ticket holders at Matsumoto Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Matsumoto Yamaga languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Avispa Fukuoka will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Matsumoto and Avispa Fukuoka.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Avispa Fukuoka, who are travelling more than 900 kilometers to play this game.

Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats

1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Matsumoto Yamaga have to build on here at Matsumoto Stadium in the J2-League. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Matsumoto Yamaga with their five defeats in a row. Not since the ThespaKusatsu Gunma game, 27 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Matsumoto, their manager K. Nuno and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Matsumoto are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus JEF United. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Jubilo Iwata.

The manager K. Nuno will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tokyo Verdy in only four days.

Matsumoto has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. Matsumoto's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 5 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Avispa Fukuoka form and stats

2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That’s the product of Avispa Fukuoka playing as the away team in the J2-League this season.

Fukuoka failed to get anything from their last game, a J2-League home match vs Tokyo Verdy (placed 12th) that ended with defeat 1-3. A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Ventforet Kofu.

A new game in only four days for Fukuoka, the J2-League home match versus Mito Hollyhock. Busy days.

The attacking power of Fukuoka when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Avispa Fukuoka as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
