J2-League: What this match might lack in elegance it should pay back in effort and dedication. Let's go: Ryūkyū - Zweigen Kanazawa!

Insights:
  • Ryūkyū is in the worst form (0-2-4)

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 Zweigen Kanazawa.

These teams have little in common geographically as Zweigen Kanazawa have to travel 1800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Ryūkyū can neither be promoted or relegated from J2-League. Kanazawa are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Ryūkyū form and stats

When playing at home in the J2-League, Ryūkyū have managed 9 wins, 4 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 18 games.

Ryūkyū haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 192 minutes ago. K. Kazama scored that one.

In their previous game, the manager T. Kina led his Ryūkyū to a defeat in the J2-League match away at Renofa Yamaguchi. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium.

In the match before that, Ryūkyū hosted Machida Zelvia and drew the game 0-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ryūkyū have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won three, drawn four and lost five.

Ryūkyū are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 18 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 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 12 from 18 matches.

A 1-1 draw at Blaublitz Akita's stadium before that.
