Sagamihara form and stats

Sagamihara's struggle is real here at Sagamihara Gion Stadium with only 8 points collected from 12 J2-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-6. With nine home J2-League games in a row without a win, the Sagamihara fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Omiya Ardija game long ago, can be stopped today.

J. Fujimoto was the last player to score a league goal for Sagamihara and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Sagamihara haven't scored in 203 minutes.

Prior to that, an away loss at Machida Zelvia.
