This match features two teams living in the basement of the J2-League, Sagamihara holding 22nd place and Giravanz Kitakyushu lying 19th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Insights:
  • Sagamihara have the fewest scored goals (11) in J2-League
  • Giravanz Kitakyushu haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams have little in common geographically as Giravanz Kitakyushu have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
