Zweigen Kanazawa will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 8 points behind Giravanz Kitakyushu.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for Giravanz Kitakyushu when visiting Kanazawa as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

Giravanz Kitakyushu form and stats

The visitors are W6-D2-L6 on the road this term. That's in the J2-League. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Kitakyushu are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Kitakyushu are looking to quickly end their 194 minutes long goal drought in the J2-League.

Home advantage was not enough for Kitakyushu in their previous game, as they lost their J2-League-match, hosting Matsumoto Yamaga, 0-1. A 0-1 defeat away at Kyoto Sanga before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Omiya Ardija in just three days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Kitakyushu have scored 19 goals in 14 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 17 goals have been conceded by Giravanz Kitakyushu in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Giravanz Kitakyushu - Zweigen Kanazawa 2-1. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: zero - two - three (Zweigen Kanazawa wins - draws - Giravanz Kitakyushu wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
