Kamatamare Sanuki form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J3-League this season. Kamatamare Sanuki have only managed 3 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses from their games here at Pikara Stadium.

Kamatamare haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 360 minutes ago. H. Ikegaya (own goal) scored that one.

In their previous game, the manager K. Mochizuki led his Kamatamare to a defeat in the J3-League match away at Roasso Kumamoto. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Pikara Stadium. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Cerezo Osaka U23 that ended 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Kamatamare perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kamatamare Sanuki as a small favourite), we find five games. Kamatamare Sanuki has won one of these, drawn one and lost three.

Kamatamare have scored 14 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Kamatamare's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Fukushima United form and stats

As the visiting team in J3-League matches, Fukushima United have produced an overall stat of 6-1-9 so far. Three has not been a lucky number for Fukushima United as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Azul Claro Numazu match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Fukushima United have lost on their last two travels.

Home advantage was not enough for Fukushima in their previous game, as they lost their J3-League-match, hosting Gainare Tottori, 1-2. A 0-1 defeat away at Fujieda MYFC before that.

Fukushima were so close to getting something from the game against Gainare Tottori, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Fukushima United in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Fukushima United, two draws and six defeats.

Fukushima have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 21 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Fukushima have conceded 26 goals in their away games.
