Kagoshima United form and stats

Kagoshima United have played 5 J3-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Kagoshima lost their last game at Fujieda MYFC (placed 4th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that, Kagoshima had a home game versus Azul Claro Numazu which ended with a victory 3-2.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Kagoshima as they have a new game in only four days, a J3-League match thankfully also at home. Vanraure Hachinohe are visiting.

The Kagoshima fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Kagoshima defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Grulla Morioka form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their J3-League travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. It's a growing despair in Morioka as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Home advantage was not enough for Morioka in their previous game, as they lost their J3-League-match, hosting Imabari, 0-1. A 1-3 defeat away at Roasso Kumamoto before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Gainare Tottori in just four days.

Morioka have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 6 goals have been scored. 8 goals have been conceded by Morioka in these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Kagoshima, two draws and zero wins for Grulla Morioka. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
