Matsumoto Yamaga hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 24 points and a 19th position in the J2-League table. Visiting Mito Hollyhock holds 10th place with 34 pts.
It's no vacation for neither Matsumoto nor Mito Hollyhock as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats
When playing at home in the J2-League, Matsumoto Yamaga have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 11 games.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Jubilo Iwata in the J2-League last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that match, a win away at Montedio Yamagata.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Matsumoto as they are travelling to their away game against Ryukyu in the J2-League. That match is three days after this one.
Matsumoto have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Matsumoto defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Mito Hollyhock form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (43) in J2-League, on their J2-League travels is 5 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
Two travels in a row for Hollyhock, whose manager T. Akiba could celebrate last time after the J2-League win against JEF United. A draw for Hollyhock before that, at their own venue hosting Fagiano Okayama (0-0).
As mentioned above, Hollyhock was the only team on the pitch versus JEF United in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.
After this away game Hollyhock return home for a J2-League game against Albirex Niigata. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Hollyhock has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 21 goals from 12 games. As opposed to that, Hollyhock have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Mito Hollyhock - Matsumoto 2-2. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - three - one (Matsumoto wins - draws - Mito Hollyhock wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
