Gifu form and stats

Gifu might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Kataller Toyama proved too strong as Gifu slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Nagaragawa Stadium. Fujioka has scored for the away side four fixtures in a row. The competence!
A draw for Gifu before that, at their own venue hosting Fukushima United (1-1).The visiting Gifu have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 14 games. Gifu's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 25 goals from these trips.
