Competition: Wed 04.May
Match begins: 06:00 (UTC)
Venue: Sunpro Alwin Stadium

Matsumoto Yamaga are positioned 1st, while Giravanz Kitakyushu are lagging 8 points behind in the standings. Will they decrease the gap?

Insights:
  • Matsumoto Yamaga have the most scored goals (15) in J3-League
  • Giravanz Kitakyushu have the fewest matches under the total-line (0) in J3-League

These teams have little in common geographically as Giravanz Kitakyushu have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Not a lot of time to rest for the hosting team, as they had a J3-League game only four days back. Thankfully the previous game, versus Azul Claro Numazu, was also a home game here at Sunpro Alwin Stadium. The away team is better rested.
