The Renofa Yamaguchi manager M. Shimoda attacks this game with the team placed 20th so far. In the visitors dressing room Ryūkyū and their manager Y. Higuchi are in 22nd place before this match.
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.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Ryūkyū, who are travelling more than 1200 kilometers to play this game.
Renofa Yamaguchi form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Renofa Yamaguchi's two home games in the J2-League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Ishin Me-Life Stadium. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Yamaguchi to get some points in this home game.
Yamaguchi lost their last game at Tokushima Vortis (placed 3rd) after a 0-4 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Jubilo Iwata.
As you see from the result above, Yamaguchi suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Early season league goal statistics from Renofa Yamaguchi's 2 home games: 1 goal, 3 conceded.
Ryūkyū form and stats
It's not happening yet for Ryūkyū on their J2-League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ryūkyū are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Ryūkyū's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus V-Varen Nagasaki that finished 1-1. Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Tokushima Vortis.
It's early days yet, but Ryūkyū has scored 0 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
