Kagoshima United form and stats

3 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Kagoshima United, who have the most points (11) at home in J3-League, have to build on here at Kagoshima Kamoike Stadium in the J3-League.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Kagoshima, as their goalkeeper Kenta Matsuyama has completely shut out the opponents for 201 minutes in the J3-League.

Kagoshima United's last game was hosting Giravanz Kitakyushu (placed 20th) and winning 2-0.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Grulla Morioka with a 2-0 scoreline.

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 Kagoshima United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 4 and lost 4.

6 goals have been conceded.

Ryūkyū form and stats

Still no away game victory in the J3-League for Ryūkyū with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Ryūkyū seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The manager Kuranuki was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Sportplatz SV Brixen im Thale (Hof). Ryūkyū suffered a 2-3 loss to Gainare Tottori (placed 9th).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ehime wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Ryūkyū have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 3 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats.

Ryūkyū have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. The Ryūkyū manager Kuranuki has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head statistics (for the former eight meetings): Kagoshima United won three games, zero matches ended in a draw and Ryūkyū have five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / three.
