Vanraure Hachinohe form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vanraure Hachinohe so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-3 (win-draw-lose).

Hachinohe played 1-1 against Kamatamare Sanuki in their previous match.

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Shonan Bellmare (after extra-time).

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Vanraure Hachinohe playing away, we found three games. Results were two away wins, zero draws and one home win.

The attacking power of Vanraure Hachinohe when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Vanraure Hachinohe have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
