Competition: Japan J3-League
Competition: Sun 15.November
Match begins: 04:00 (UTC)
Venue: Shizuoka Ashitaka Athletic Stadium

Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Azul Claro Numazu in 12th and Kagoshima United in 7th place.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

These teams have little in common geographically as Kagoshima United have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Azul Claro Numazu form and stats

4-4-4 (win-draw-lost) are the J3-League numbers at home for Azul Claro Numazu so far this season. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

A good away victory last time out for Numazu, who won 2-0 against Cerezo Osaka U23 (placed 18th). Before that, Numazu drew at home versus Gainare Tottori.

This is expected to be a close game, with Azul Claro Numazu perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Numazu as a small favourite), we find ten games. Azul Claro Numazu has won two of these, drawn three and lost five.

There will be little rest for Numazu after this match as they are travelling to Fujieda MYFC for a J3-League game in only three days.

The Numazu fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 12 matches. Numazu's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Kagoshima United form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their J3-League travels is 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. Kagoshima has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

T. Ushinohama, R. Yonezawa, K. Mizumoto and T. Sonoda scored in Kagoshima's previous match, the home game against Roasso Kumamoto that ended 4-1. Prior to that match, the Kagoshima manager J. Kim faced defeat when travelling to Kataller Toyama and losing 0-2.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Kagoshima in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Kagoshima United, two draws and four defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Kagoshima now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A J3-League game at Kamatamare Sanuki is waiting in only three days.

Kagoshima are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 22 times in 13 away games so far. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Kagoshima have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.

The last H2H meeting was Kagoshima United - Azul Claro Numazu 3-2, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Numazu won two games, one match ended with a draw and Kagoshima United has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / three
