The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Azul Claro Numazu are in the 11th position while the guesting Vanraure Hachinohe worry at 14th.
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.
Azul Claro Numazu form and stats
The story so far in the J3-League for Azul Claro Numazu at their home stadium (Shizuoka Ashitaka Athletic Stadium) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Numazu after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Numazu's last game was hosting Kamatamare Sanuki (placed 18th) and winning 3-1. Heartbreak before that as Azul Claro Numazu lost 1-3 at Gifu's place.
The manager M. Imai will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Grulla Morioka in only four days.
Azul Claro Numazu are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
Vanraure Hachinohe form and stats
There's been little loot from Vanraure Hachinohe's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the J3-League. Vanraure Hachinohe only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. Recent form does not give Vanraure Hachinohe much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Azul Claro Numazu will be a tough nut to crack.
Vanraure Hachinohe's previous game was their home loss versus Fukushima United (2-3). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kamatamare Sanuki wasn't a success with a 2-4 loss.
After this away game Hachinohe return home for a J3-League game against Imabari. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The travelling fans enjoy Hachinohe's attacking play in away games, having scored 12 goals in 8 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Vanraure Hachinohe manager M. Nakaguchi has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
