The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Fukushima United are in the 11th position while the guesting YSCC worry at 17th.
It's no vacation for neither Fukushima United nor YSCC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Fukushima United form and stats
The story so far in the J3-League for Fukushima United at their home stadium (TOHO Stadium) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats.
Fukushima United are returning here after visiting Kataller Toyama in a J3-League game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. R. Tamura and O. Ismaila scored the goal(s). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Sagamihara that ended 0-0.
The manager T. Matsuda will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Imabari in only four days.
The Fukushima fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 14 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Fukushima defense is not exactly impregnable. 22 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
YSCC form and stats
There's been little loot from YSCC's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 14 away games in the J3-League. YSCC, who have the most conceded goals (56) in J3-League, only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for YSCC, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Kagoshima United game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Three consecutive losses in away matches means YSCC are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
YSCC play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Imabari (placed 7th). Prior to that match, the YSCC manager Y. Stalph faced defeat when travelling to Gainare Tottori and losing 1-4.
A new game in only four days for YSCC, the J3-League home match versus Kamatamare Sanuki. Busy days.
The attacking power of YSCC when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 14 league matches away. For YSCC, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
