This match features two teams living in the basement of the J3-League, Azul Claro Numazu holding 15th place and Kamatamare Sanuki lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Azul Claro Numazu form and stats
Azul Claro Numazu's struggle is real here at Shizuoka Ashitaka Athletic Stadium with only 8 points collected from 8 J3-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-4.
The fans are hoping that Azul Claro Numazu will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the J3-League game against Gifu (placed 4th). Before that, Numazu had a home game versus Cerezo Osaka U23 which ended with a victory 5-0.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the J3-League game versus Vanraure Hachinohe in only four days. This game is also played here at Shizuoka Ashitaka Athletic Stadium.
The Azul Claro Numazu fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Numazu have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Kamatamare Sanuki form and stats
There's been little loot from Kamatamare Sanuki's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the J3-League. Kamatamare Sanuki only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Kamatamare Sanuki are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Kamatamare are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the J3-League against Vanraure Hachinohe (placed 13th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Parceiro Nagano wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Kamatamare Sanuki, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kamatamare manager K. Mochizuki as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Grulla Morioka.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Kamatamare have scored 10 goals in 9 league games away.
