Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats

A J2-League draw at home so far for Zweigen Kanazawa. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 11 draws and 3 defeats from 21 matches.

No payout for Kanazawa in their previous match, an away game at Ventforet Kofu that ended in defeat 1-2. A strong away win before that one, visiting Albirex Niigata and winning 5-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with Kanazawa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Zweigen Kanazawa as a small favourite), we find eight games. Zweigen Kanazawa has won five of these, drawn three and lost zero.

Kanazawa are traveling soon after this match as the J2-League match at Tochigi awaits in four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Zweigen Kanazawa at home in the league. 0 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

JEF United form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the J2-League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 8 draws and 9 defeats from 21 matches.

Home advantage was not enough for JEF in their previous game, as they lost their J2-League-match, hosting Tochigi, 0-1. Prior to that result JEF won their away game at Mito Hollyhock. The scoreline was 3-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with JEF playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were four JEF United wins, two draws and seven defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as JEF United are hosting Tokyo Verdy in the J2-League only three days away.

JEF United have the goal stats of 3-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Kanazawa won four, JEF United won five and one draw. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
