With their 3 point advantage in the league table, Zweigen Kanazawa fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Montedio Yamagata.

Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats
The story so far in the J2-League for Zweigen Kanazawa at their home stadium (Ishikawa Seibu Ryokuchi Stadium) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Two home wins in a row for Kanazawa bring valid hopes of a third.
