Nara Club form and stats

The overall J3-League stats at home this season for Nara Club are 2-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The home team returns to Konoike Athletic Stadium after drawing with Kamatamare Sanuki (placed 15th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. Asakawa felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Kamatamare Sanuki as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 90th minute.

Before that game, a home loss in the Emperor Cup against Honda.

Nara Club are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games.

Kagoshima United form and stats

2-1-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Kagoshima United in their J3-League matches away. The fact that Kagoshima have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Kagoshima United play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting Matsumoto Yamaga (placed 9th). A mental match with lots of goals last time out for Kagoshima, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that game, will this fixture be as gleeful?

Before that game, 2-2 away against Giravanz Kitakyushu (after extra-time, 4-1 on penalties) in the Emperor Cup.

The visiting Kagoshima United have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 5 games. 6 goals have been conceded by Kagoshima United in these games.
