- Sagamihara have the the worst goal difference (-6) at home in J2-League
- Machida Zelvia have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J2-League this season. Sagamihara, who have the the worst goal difference (-6) at home in J2-League, have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses from their games here at Sagamihara Gion Stadium.
