It hasn't been easy for Omiya Ardija so far, and that also applies to Matsumoto Yamaga. These struggling sides have the opportunity for some much needed points here.
- Omiya Ardija have the most dropped points from leading position (20) in J2-League
- Matsumoto Yamaga have the most conceded goals in the second half (24) in J2-League
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Omiya Ardija form and stats
Omiya Ardija's results here at NACK5 Stadium Ōmiya in the J2-League have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 7 defeats. With nine home J2-League games in a row without a win, the Omiya Ardija fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the V-Varen Nagasaki game long ago, can be stopped today.
Omiya Ardija lost their last game at Fagiano Okayama (placed 12th) after a 0-1 scoreline.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Blaublitz Akita that ended 1-1.The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Ardija handle that role? We have found twelve games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, six draws and one defeat.
The Ardija fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 12 matches. Ardija have conceded 18 from these games.
Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats
There's been little loot from Matsumoto Yamaga's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the J2-League. Matsumoto Yamaga only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws.
Home advantage was not enough for Matsumoto Yamaga in their previous game, as they lost their J2-League-match, hosting Ehime, 0-1.
It was a Emperor Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Gamba Osaka (after extra-time) wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.We have checked recent matches where Matsumoto have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were four victories, four draws and five defeats.
The attacking power of Matsumoto when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 12 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Matsumoto have conceded 21 goals in these games.
