It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Ryūkyū, who are travelling more than 1600 kilometers to play this game.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Osaka form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J3-League this season. Osaka have only managed 2 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses from their games here at KINCHO Stadium.
The Osaka goalkeeper Tatsunari Nagai is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 247 minutes without conceding a goal in the J3-League.
A good away victory last time out for Osaka, who won 1-0 against Fukushima United (placed 18th).
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Parceiro Nagano.This is expected to be a close game, with Osaka perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Osaka as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Osaka has won 3 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.
It should be added that a look at the 12 most recent league matches shows that 10 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).
Osaka have scored {4 league goals} here from 6 matches, not a lot. Osaka's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Ryūkyū form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ryūkyū so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).
Two away games in a row for Ryūkyū, whose coach Kina could celebrate last time after the win against Parceiro Nagano.
Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Azul Claro Numazu.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Ryūkyū in our archives, and the results are: 7 wins for Ryūkyū, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ryūkyū manager Kina as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Roasso Kumamoto.
Ryūkyū have conceded 10 goals in these games.
