Gifu form and stats

Gifu, who have the fewest points (1) away in J2-League, have only collected 1 point from their away games after 0-1-7 (8 played). Gifu are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost seven in a row. It's been 6 days since they avoided defeat. (The Ryūkyū game.) Bitter travels for Gifu as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Tochigi.

Gifu play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Renofa Yamaguchi. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Omiya Ardija wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Gifu are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

Goals are few and far between in Gifu's away games. Only 3 goals from 8 travels. For Gifu, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
