Season ticket holders at Shoda Shoyu Stadium Gunma haven’t seen too many victories this season, with ThespaKusatsu Gunma languishing in the 21st position so far. The guesting Kyoto Sanga will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

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 ThespaKusatsu and Kyoto Sanga.

Kyoto Sanga form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kyoto Sanga so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-5 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Kyoto have lost on their last two travels.

Kyoto had fun at their own home (Shoda Shoyu Stadium Gunma) last time out, beating JEF United 2-0. J. Buijs and P. Utaka scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Omiya Ardija wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

A new game in only four days for Kyoto, the J2-League home match versus Ryūkyū. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 13 goals have been conceded by Kyoto in these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two ThespaKusatsu Gunma victories, three draws and five Kyoto Sanga wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
