Greeting visitors in their own stadium is comfortable and friendly for Matsumoto Yamaga, but Kyoto Sanga are fully determined and able to get all three points. Who will win?
- Matsumoto Yamaga have the most conceded goals (47) in J2-League
- Kyoto Sanga have the fewest conceded goals (21) in J2-League
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 Yamaga and Kyoto Sanga.
Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats
Matsumoto Yamaga have collected 16 points from their J2-League home games so far after 4-4-6. Game days at Sunpro Alwin Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Matsumoto as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
R. Toyama was the last player to score a league goal for Matsumoto Yamaga and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Matsumoto Yamaga haven't scored in 278 minutes.
The Matsumoto Yamaga fans got no joy from their last match, a J2-League game also here at Sunpro Alwin Stadium: A 0-4 defeat against Jubilo Iwata (placed 1st). Matsumoto were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Prior to that, an away loss at Omiya Ardija.Matsumoto are traveling soon after this match as the J2-League match at Tokyo Verdy awaits in four days.
Matsumoto are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 14 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Matsumoto have conceded 22 from these games.
Kyoto Sanga form and stats
Kyoto Sanga's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Kyoto Sanga collect 29 points from their 13 away matches in the J2-League. 9 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
Kyoto Sanga lost away at Ventforet Kofu (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Tokyo Verdy.A new game in only four days for Kyoto, the J2-League home match versus Ryukyu. Busy days.
Kyoto find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. Kyoto Sanga are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 6 goals away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
Kyoto Sanga - Matsumoto 0-0 was the output when this pair of teams formerly did battle, earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Matsumoto Yamaga victories, five draws and one Kyoto Sanga win.
