It's advantage Ventforet Kofu so far with their 3rd position in the J2-League table, welcoming Gifu who are placed 10th.
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. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Ventforet Kofu form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Ventforet Kofu's two home games so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Yamanashi Chuo Bank Stadium.Ventforet Kofu manager A.

Gifu form and stats
It's not happening yet for Gifu on their travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Gifu have lost on their last two travels.Gifu delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Kyoto Sanga in their previous match; a J2-League game. Prior to that match, the Gifu manager T. Oki faced defeat in their match when travelling to Yokohama and losing 0-2.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Gifu manager T. Oki as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Ehime.
It's early days yet, but Gifu has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels so far (2 games).
