Mito Hollyhock form and stats
3 victories, 0 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Mito Hollyhock have to build on here at K’s Denki Stadium in the J2-League.
It's back home for Hollyhock, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Zweigen Kanazawa away with the result 3-2. M. Nakayama, T. Yamane and K. Okuda found the net in that victory. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against V-Varen Nagasaki.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of T. Akiba when K. Okuda scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 58th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when K. Okuda scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time.

Tochigi form and stats
2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Tochigi playing as the away team in the J2-League this season.
Tochigi might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Giravanz Kitakyushu proved too strong as Tochigi slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Tochigi Green Stadium. Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Júbilo Iwata's place.
Late heartbreak for Tochigi in the Giravanz Kitakyushu match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tochigi playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were six Tochigi wins, five draws and five defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Tochigi have scored 7 goals in 6 league games away. As opposed to that, Tochigi have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
