Ryūkyū hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 40 points and a 19th position in the J2-League table. Visiting Tokyo Verdy holds 8th place with 52 pts.

Insights:
  • Ryūkyū haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
  • Tokyo Verdy have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ryūkyū and Tokyo Verdy.

Tokyo Verdy have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Ryūkyū form and stats

5 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Ryūkyū have to build on here at Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium in the J2-League.

In their previous game, the manager Y. Higuchi led his Ryūkyū to a defeat in the J2-League match away at Jubilo Iwata. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Giravanz Kitakyushu that ended 1-1.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the J2-League game versus Zweigen Kanazawa in only three days. This game is also played here at Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium.

The Ryūkyū fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 16 matches. Ryūkyū's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 22 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
