The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Grulla Morioka are in the 12th position while the guesting Kamatamare Sanuki worry at 18th.
It's no vacation for neither Morioka nor Kamatamare Sanuki 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.
Kamatamare Sanuki have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Grulla Morioka form and stats
Grulla Morioka's struggle is real here at Iwagin Stadium with only 9 points collected from 9 J3-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-0-6.
No payout for Grulla Morioka in their previous match, an away game at Blaublitz Akita that ended in defeat 1-2. Preceding that game was the away draw at Fujieda MYFC that finished 0-0.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Grulla Morioka, as the J3-League home game vs Azul Claro Numazu is only four days away.
The Grulla Morioka fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Morioka are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (20 from 9 played).
Kamatamare Sanuki form and stats
Kamatamare Sanuki have only collected 6 points from their away games in the J3-League, after 1-3-6 (10 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Kamatamare's last three away games as they have all been lost.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Kamatamare, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Azul Claro Numazu (placed 11th). Prior to that match, a home win 4-2 against Vanraure Hachinohe.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Gainare Tottori in just four days.
