Omiya Ardija form and stats

4-5-7 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for Omiya Ardija so far this season.

The fans are hoping that Ardija will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the J2-League game against JEF United (placed 9th). Heartbreak for Omiya Ardija in their last match as JEF United's T. Miki scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Before that, Omiya Ardija drew at home versus Zweigen Kanazawa.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Ardija's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won three matches, drawn one and lost zero.

Omiya Ardija are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 16 games. Ardija have conceded 21 in these home matches.

Giravanz Kitakyushu form and stats

Giravanz Kitakyushu have only collected 15 points from their away games in the J2-League, after 3-6-7 (16 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Kitakyushu are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

There were no winners in Giravanz Kitakyushu's previous match, a J2-League home game that ended 2-2 vs Tokyo Verdy (placed 12th).

Prior to that match, the Giravanz Kitakyushu manager S. Kobayashi faced defeat when travelling to Júbilo Iwata and losing 1-4.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Giravanz Kitakyushu when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning one game.

The attacking power of Giravanz Kitakyushu when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 16 league matches away. Kitakyushu's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 27 goals from these trips.
