Struggling Renofa Yamaguchi will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Kyoto Sanga in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Renofa Yamaguchi have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (1) in J2-League
- Kyoto Sanga have the most points (12) away in J2-League
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Renofa Yamaguchi form and stats
Renofa Yamaguchi have played 5 J2-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against ThespaKusatsu Gunma.
The lack of attacking qualities in Renofa Yamaguchi means that they have only scored 2 goals in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Yamaguchi are not conceding a lot of goals here at Ishin Me-Life Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 5 matches.
Kyoto Sanga form and stats
4-0-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Kyoto Sanga, who have the most points (12) away in J2-League, in their J2-League matches away. The fact that Kyoto have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Kyoto Sanga has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Prior to that match, a home win 6-1 against Giravanz Kitakyushu.
Kyoto have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 7 goals have been scored. Kyoto's manager K. Cho has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 2 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Yamaguchi, two draws and three wins for Kyoto Sanga. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Renofa Yamaguchi missing players
