Season ticket holders at Shoda Shoyu Stadium Gunma haven’t seen too many victories this season, with ThespaKusatsu Gunma languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Tokyo Verdy will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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.
ThespaKusatsu Gunma form and stats
With {4 J2-League wins}, 1 draw and 12 defeats from their home games, ThespaKusatsu Gunma, who have the fewest scored goals (27) in J2-League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for ThespaKusatsu Gunma, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The fans are hoping that ThespaKusatsu will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the J2-League game against Zweigen Kanazawa (placed 12th). Preceding that match was a defeat to V-Varen Nagasaki (1-2).
ThespaKusatsu have scored 13 league goals here from 17 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 31 goals have been conceded.
Tokyo Verdy form and stats
6-6-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Tokyo Verdy in their J2-League matches away.
It's the second away game in a row for Tokyo, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Kyoto Sanga (placed 8th) in the J2-League last time out. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Tokushima Vortis.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Tokyo have scored 21 goals in 17 league games away. As opposed to that, Tokyo have seen the ball go into their own net 21 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
