There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the J2-League table so far. Here's the Matsumoto Yamaga - Machida Zelvia latest:
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Matsumoto Yamaga's two home games in the J2-League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Matsumoto Stadium.
Matsumoto lost their last game at Omiya Ardija (placed 2nd) after a 0-1 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting ThespaKusatsu Gunma in a game that was won 2-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Matsumoto have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won four times, drawn zero and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the J2-League game versus Giravanz Kitakyushu in only four days. This game is also played here at Matsumoto Stadium.
At Matsumoto Stadium, Matsumoto Yamaga has the goal stats of 3-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Machida Zelvia form and stats
Machida Zelvia are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the J2-League, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
I. Oda and A. Mašović scored in Machida Zelvia's previous match, the home game against Tochigi that ended 2-0. Prior to that match, the Machida manager R. Popović faced defeat when travelling to Mito Hollyhock and losing 0-4.
Machida Zelvia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, five draws and six defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
The schedule is very tough for Machida now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A J2-League game at Kyoto Sanga is waiting in only four days.
The attacking power of Machida Zelvia when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Machida struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
