Giravanz Kitakyushu form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first J3-League game of the season here at Mikuni World Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 3 wins, 7 draws and 11 losses from Giravanz Kitakyushu's 21 home games. It's been an uphill battle for Giravanz Kitakyushu in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Tokyo Verdy game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
It's back home for Giravanz Kitakyushu, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Kataller Toyama away with the result 2-1. Sato and Fujikawa found the net in that victory.
Before that, Giravanz Kitakyushu played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Tegevajaro Miyazaki.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 Kitakyushu have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost two.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Giravanz Kitakyushu at home in the league. 0 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Imabari form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first J3-League away game of the season. During their previous season 14 away games resulted in 1 win, 5 draws and 8 defeats.
Imabari are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Gainare Tottori (placed 17th).
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Kataller Toyama.Imabari are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and four defeats. From a total of seven matches.
Imabari have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
