The visiting Ventforet Kofu side should be favourites in this visit to Matsumoto Yamaga, as the away team holds a 5 point advantage from their seven league games this season.
- Ventforet Kofu have scored in all their away matches so far.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats
1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for Matsumoto Yamaga so far this season.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Blaublitz Akita in a game that was won 3-1.
The manager K. Shibata will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ehime in only four days.
Matsumoto Yamaga are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. 3 goals have been conceded.
Ventforet Kofu form and stats
Playing away, Ventforet Kofu have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 1 defeat in the J2-League this season.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against V-Varen Nagasaki wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
A quick return to home after this game, as Ventforet Kofu are hosting Sagamihara in the J2-League only four days away.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Ventforet have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
