Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats

Zweigen Kanazawa's results here at Ishikawa Seibu Stadium in the J2-League have been very modest with 3 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

The Kanazawa fans got no joy from their last match, a J2-League game also here at Ishikawa Seibu Stadium: A 1-2 defeat against Jubilo Iwata (placed 1st). The defeat against Jubilo Iwata was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored five minutes into stoppage time (by Lukian).

Prior to that, an away loss at JEF United.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kanazawa as they are travelling to their away game against ThespaKusatsu Gunma in the J2-League. That match is four days after this one.
