Match begins: 10:00 (UTC)
Venue: Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium (25000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 22nd place.

Ryūkyū and Gifu should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

It's quite the trip for Gifu when visiting Ryūkyū as the cities are 1800 kilometers apart.

Gifu form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gifu, who have the fewest scored goals (11) away in J2-League, so far with only {7 J2-League points} returning home. The records show 2-1-10 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Gifu as they have been defeated three times in a row since the V-Varen Nagasaki match.

The manager M. Kitano was unhappy after their last game, a J2-League match played at their home ground Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium. Gifu suffered a 0-4 loss to Kashiwa Reysol. A 1-2 defeat away at Zweigen Kanazawa before that.

The attacking power of Gifu when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 13 league matches away. The Gifu manager M. Kitano has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.
