After five games we know a little more about the qualities of Tochigi and Zweigen Kanazawa in this fresh J2-League season. Read our match preview!
It's no vacation for neither Tochigi nor Zweigen Kanazawa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Tochigi form and stats
Only two J2-League home games for Tochigi so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
The Tochigi goalkeeper Hitoshi Shiota is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 213 minutes without conceding a goal in the J2-League.
Tochigi's last game was hosting Omiya Ardija (placed 2nd) and winning 1-0. Before that match, a win away at JEF United.
The victory against Omiya Ardija came after K. Yano's winning goal. The Tochigi manager K. Tasaka was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Tochigi at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats
Things could have gone better for Zweigen Kanazawa in their J2-League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
Kanazawa's previous game was their home loss versus JEF United (0-2). A 1-2 defeat away at Ventforet Kofu before that.
Kanazawa have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 6 goals from 3 away matches. Zweigen Kanazawa have conceded 6 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): Tochigi zero wins, five draws and Zweigen Kanazawa one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Tochigi missing players
