The visiting Ventforet Kofu side should be favourites in this visit to ThespaKusatsu Gunma, as the away team holds a 16 point advantage from their 27 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.

ThespaKusatsu Gunma form and stats

With {3 J2-League wins}, 1 draw and 10 defeats from their home games, ThespaKusatsu Gunma, who have the fewest scored goals (21) in J2-League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The ThespaKusatsu crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Avispa Fukuoka here at Shoda Shoyu Stadium Gunma in a J2-League match. Before that match, a win away at Ryūkyū.

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

ThespaKusatsu Gunma have scored 9 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the ThespaKusatsu defense is not exactly impregnable. 26 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
