Ventforet Kofu form and stats

Ventforet Kofu have played 3 J2-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Ventforet Kofu drew their last game, 3-3 away at Matsumoto Yamaga (placed 19th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Giravanz Kitakyushu that ended 1-1.

Opportunity lost for Ventforet Kofu in the Matsumoto Yamaga match as a lead 3-1 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. A goal frenzy last time out for Ventforet, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Matsumoto Yamaga. Fun stuff to watch!

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Ventforet matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from two games).

There will be little rest for Ventforet after this match as they are travelling to Ryukyu for a J2-League game in only four days.

The Ventforet fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Ventforet have conceded 3 in these home matches.

Sagamihara form and stats

Still no away game victory in the J2-League for Sagamihara with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.

Sagamihara might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Júbilo Iwata proved too strong as Sagamihara slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Sagamihara Gion Stadium. A 0-0 draw at Tochigi's stadium before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sagamihara when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing zero and winning one game.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sagamihara manager F. Miura as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against JEF United.

Goals are few and far between in Sagamihara's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
