Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats
Overall J2-League stats at home this season for Matsumoto Yamaga are 3-3-3 (wins-draw-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Matsumoto with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Zweigen Kanazawa game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Matsumoto Yamaga are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus V-Varen Nagasaki.
Before that, Matsumoto had a Emperor Cup home game versus Ryukyu which ended with a victory 1-0.The Matsumoto fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Omiya Ardija form and stats
Omiya Ardija have only collected 7 points from their away games in the J2-League, after 1-4-4 (9 played). Omiya Ardija are desperate to end a 13-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the V-Varen Nagasaki fixture.
Omiya Ardija delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Tochigi (placed 15th) in their previous match; a J2-League game.
Prior to that match, the Ardija manager N. Sasaki faced defeat when travelling to JEF United and losing 0-1.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Omiya Ardija as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. 12 goals have been conceded by Ardija in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Matsumoto, one draw and two wins for Omiya Ardija. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
