We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats
The story so far in the J3-League for Matsumoto Yamaga at their home stadium (Sunpro Alwin Stadium) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
Matsumoto Yamaga lost their last game at Ehime (placed 10th) after a 2-3 scoreline. Until that defeat this club had gone nine consecutive league rounds without being beaten.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fujieda MYFC in a game that was won 2-0.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Matsumoto Yamaga have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 16 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 5 and lost 7.
Matsumoto Yamaga has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. From these home matches, Matsumoto have conceded only 5 goals.
Iwaki form and stats
Iwaki have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 16 points collected from 6 J3-League games. 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats is the record so far. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Iwaki's record of five away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Kagoshima United game.
Iwaki's last game was the home draw against Giravanz Kitakyushu (2-2). Drawing 2-2 against Giravanz Kitakyushu after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Suguri needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Kamatamare Sanuki at their stadium, the result 2-1.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 4 similar matches played by Iwaki in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Iwaki, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
