ThespaKusatsu Gunma form and stats

5-6-7 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for ThespaKusatsu Gunma so far this season.

No payout for ThespaKusatsu Gunma in their previous match, an away game at V-Varen Nagasaki that ended in defeat 1-4.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Matsumoto Yamaga in a game that was won 1-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Sagamihara form and stats

There's been little loot from Sagamihara's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 18 away games in the J2-League. Sagamihara only have 3 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 5 draws.

The manager T. Takagi was unhappy after their last game, a J2-League match played at their home ground Sagamihara Gion Stadium. Sagamihara suffered a 0-1 loss to Blaublitz Akita (placed 13th).

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Giravanz Kitakyushu at their stadium, the result 2-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Sagamihara in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Sagamihara, four draws and four defeats.
