Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats

With 2 J2-League wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Zweigen Kanazawa are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Kanazawa's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Tokushima Vortis (placed 12th).

In the game before, an away victory match versus Omiya Ardija with a 1-0 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Zweigen Kanazawa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 18 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 5 and lost 6.

Sports bettors should know that 12 of the latest 16 league matches from this club have seen goals scored by both teams.

The manager Yanagishita will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Mito Hollyhock in only four days.

The Zweigen Kanazawa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. On the other hand, Kanazawa have conceded 15 goals.

ThespaKusatsu Gunma form and stats

Playing away, ThespaKusatsu Gunma have won 4 games, drawn 1 and suffered 7 defeats in the J2-League this season.

The manager Ōtsuki was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Shoda Shoyu Stadium Gunma. ThespaKusatsu Gunma suffered a 0-2 loss to Albirex Niigata (placed 2nd).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Tokushima Vortis wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
