Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Gifu - Sagamihara!
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.
Gifu form and stats
Gifu, who have the most scored goals (40) in J3-League, have collected 15 points from their J3-League home games so far after 4-3-4. Three consecutive losses here at Nagaragawa Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Gifu enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Grulla Morioka's place. The match ended 4-0 with H. Takasaki, S. Kawanishi, K. Kai and O. Iyoha scoring. Ahead of that match, Gifu lost 1-2 at home to Fukushima United.
As mentioned above, Gifu "killed" Grulla Morioka in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The manager Z. Zemunovic will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to YSCC in only four days.
Gifu are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Gifu have conceded 15 goals. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Sagamihara form and stats
5 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Sagamihara playing as the away team in the J3-League this season.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Fujieda MYFC in just three days.
