Ryūkyū's previous game was a J2-League match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Zweigen Kanazawa (placed 18th). The home side are looking to build on that result.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Renofa Yamaguchi (0-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Ryūkyū perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ryūkyū as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Ryūkyū has won three of these, drawn four and lost five.

The Ryūkyū fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 19 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Ryūkyū are not conceding a lot of goals here at Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 13 from 19 matches.
