Zweigen Kanazawa will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 13 points behind V-Varen Nagasaki.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

V-Varen Nagasaki have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats

3-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for Zweigen Kanazawa so far this season.

A nice win for Kanazawa last time playing, versus Ryukyu. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with K. Sugiura and Rodolfo scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Renofa Yamaguchi.

The victory against Ryukyu came after Rodolfo's winning goal. The Kanazawa manager M. Yanagishita was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 63rd minute. A late climax in the match against Ryukyu as the winning goal came four minutes into overtime; scored by Rodolfo.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Kanazawa have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won six, drawn three and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Kanazawa as they have a new game in only four days, a J2-League match thankfully also at home. Machida Zelvia are visiting.

Kanazawa has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Kanazawa's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

It looked so good for V-Varen Nagasaki vs Albirex Niigata, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
