With their 12 point advantage in the league table, Zweigen Kanazawa fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Renofa Yamaguchi.
It's no vacation for neither Kanazawa nor Renofa Yamaguchi as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats
4 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Zweigen Kanazawa have to build on here at Ishikawa Seibu Ryokuchi Stadium in the J2-League.
Kanazawa shared the glory with Machida Zelvia in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Ventforet Kofu.
Opportunity lost for Kanazawa in the Machida Zelvia match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Kanazawa handle that role? We have found five games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are two wins, two draws and one defeat.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the J2-League game versus Júbilo Iwata in only four days. This game is also played here at Ishikawa Seibu Ryokuchi Stadium.
The Kanazawa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 12 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
Renofa Yamaguchi form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Renofa Yamaguchi, who have the fewest points (7) away in J2-League, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-8 (win-draw-lose).
There might be some fixture complaints from Renofa Yamaguchi as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the J2-League match against V-Varen Nagasaki (3-4). Before that, Yamaguchi travelled to Ehime and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
As you can tell from the result, the match against V-Varen Nagasaki was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
We have checked recent matches where Yamaguchi have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were three victories, two draws and seven defeats.
Yamaguchi has another fixture away, a J2-League game, against Kyoto Sanga in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The visiting Renofa Yamaguchi have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 13 goals from 13 games. The Yamaguchi manager M. Shimoda has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.
