Competition: Japan J2-League

Match begins: 10:00 (UTC)
Venue: Shoda Shoyu Stadium Gunma (15190 seats)

The visiting V-Varen Nagasaki side should be favourites in this visit to ThespaKusatsu Gunma, as the away team holds a 27 point advantage from their 31 league games this season.

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.

V-Varen Nagasaki have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

ThespaKusatsu Gunma form and stats

With {4 J2-League wins}, 1 draw and 11 defeats from their home games, ThespaKusatsu Gunma, who have the fewest scored goals (26) in J2-League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

An away draw last time out for ThespaKusatsu, facing Renofa Yamaguchi in a game that ended 1-1. Preceding that match was a defeat to Tokushima Vortis (2-3).

The manager R. Okuno will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Zweigen Kanazawa in only three days.

ThespaKusatsu have scored 12 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the ThespaKusatsu defense is not exactly impregnable. 29 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
