J3-League: Top-notch vs subpar, at least based on the points won so far. Fukushima United - Gainare Tottori. Home win or a surprise?

Insights:
  • Fukushima United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Gainare Tottori have the most conceded goals (31) in J3-League

This could be an engrossing match with lots of spark and bustle as both sides are well rested since they last ran out on the pitch. Game on!

Gainare Tottori have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Fukushima United form and stats

When playing at home in the J3-League, Fukushima United have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 7 games.

Happy days for Fukushima in their previous game, a J3-League match away at Gifu (placed 5th) that ended with a 4-0 victory. As mentioned above, Fukushima United "killed" Gifu in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Ahead of that match, Fukushima won a home game hosting Imabari (4-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fukushima have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won four times, drawn zero and lost one.

The Fukushima fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. On the other hand, Fukushima have conceded 10 goals.
