Renofa Yamaguchi believe to have lots of fans in for this fixture despite that the season has been difficult so far with 32 points and a 17th spot in the J2-League table. Opponents Mito Hollyhock own 9th place with 48 pts.

Insights:
  • Renofa Yamaguchi have the fewest points from losing position (1) in J2-League
  • Mito Hollyhock have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
