Renofa Yamaguchi form and stats

Renofa Yamaguchi, who have the fewest points (0) at home in J2-League, are yet to produce one single point here at Ishin Me-Life Stadium, to the disappointment of their supporters. All 4 matches have been lost. It's been an uphill battle for Renofa Yamaguchi in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Kashiwa Reysol game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Renofa Yamaguchi manager M. Shimoda and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus V-Varen Nagasaki in the J2-League. Before that game, the home loss against Tokushima Vortis with the scoreline 1-2.
