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 Hollyhock and Giravanz Kitakyushu.

These teams have little in common geographically as Giravanz Kitakyushu have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Mito Hollyhock form and stats

The complete J2-League statistics playing at home this season for Mito Hollyhock are 7-4-7 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager T. Akiba led his Hollyhock to a defeat in the J2-League match away at V-Varen Nagasaki. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at K’s Denki Stadium.

In the match before that, Hollyhock hosted Fagiano Okayama and drew the game 1-1.

There will be little rest for Mito Hollyhock after this match as they are travelling to JEF United for a J2-League game in only four days.

Giravanz Kitakyushu form and stats

Giravanz Kitakyushu have only collected 15 points from their away games in the J2-League, after 3-6-8 (17 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on S. Kobayashi, the Kitakyushu manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Kitakyushu's previous game was their home loss versus Sagamihara (1-2). Giravanz Kitakyushu were so close to getting something from the game against Sagamihara, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Omiya Ardija wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

A new game in only four days for Kitakyushu, the J2-League home match versus Ventforet Kofu. Busy days.

The attacking power of Kitakyushu when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 17 league matches away. Kitakyushu's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 30 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

This is what happened when the contenders faced each other previously this season; Giravanz Kitakyushu - Hollyhock 1-2. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Hollyhock three wins, five draws and Giravanz Kitakyushu two victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
