Grulla Morioka will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 15 points behind Sagamihara.
The hosts Morioka saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the J3-League. That game was an away game at Gainare Tottori, so at least Morioka are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Sagamihara form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their J3-League travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. Things are running smoothly for Sagamihara who hasn't tasted defeat in their last twelve matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Roasso Kumamoto. One point away has become something of a habit for Sagamihara who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Sagamihara have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 218 minutes ago. R. Saito was the goal scorer. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Sagamihara goalkeeper Victor Ibanez Pascual is eager to challenge this, with his 180 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Sagamihara's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Cerezo Osaka U23 that finished 0-0. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Fukushima United that ended 0-0.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sagamihara manager F. Miura as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Kagoshima United.
Sagamihara are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 13 games (in the league). Sagamihara have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.
