The J2-League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Ryūkyū and V-Varen Nagasaki promises to be an interesting one.
It's no vacation for neither Ryūkyū nor V-Varen Nagasaki as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
V-Varen Nagasaki have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Ryūkyū form and stats
Ryūkyū have less points than they have played home games in the J2-League so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point.
The Ryūkyū crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Tokushima Vortis here at Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium in a J2-League match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Giravanz Kitakyushu (0-4).
There will be little rest for Ryūkyū after this match as they are travelling to Renofa Yamaguchi for a J2-League game in only three days.
At Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium, Ryūkyū has the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
V-Varen Nagasaki form and stats
Only one away game in the J2-League so far for V-Varen Nagasaki and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 8 victories, 3 draws and 10 losses from 21 travels.
The supporters enjoyed Nagasaki's previous game versus Ehime (placed 9th), a J2-League 2-0 win played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against Avispa Fukuoka with the score of 2-1.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nagasaki manager M. Teguramori as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Fagiano Okayama.
2 goals so far away for V-Varen Nagasaki, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: one - zero - one (Ryūkyū wins - draws - V-Varen Nagasaki wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.Ryūkyū missing players
