- Osaka have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (3) in J3-League
- Sagamihara have the fewest clean sheets (0) away in J3-League
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!
Osaka form and stats
When playing at home in the J3-League, Osaka have managed 3 wins, 0 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 7 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at KINCHO Stadium.
Osaka drew their last game, 2-2 away at Gainare Tottori (placed 16th). The hometeam coach Shigaki made a successful contribution in the game against Gainare Tottori, bringing on Kitsui who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.
A 0-0 draw away before that, with YSCC the opponent.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Osaka have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 6 and lost 1.
It should be added that a look at the 10 most recent league matches shows that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Osaka at home in the league. 7 on target and 7 scored by the opposition; from 7 matches.
Sagamihara form and stats
Sagamihara have only collected 3 points from their away games in the J3-League, after 0-3-5 (8 played). Recent form does not give Sagamihara much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Osaka will be a tough nut to crack.
Home advantage was not enough for Sagamihara in their previous game as they lost hosting Vanraure Hachinohe, 0-1.
A 1-2 defeat away at Ehime before that.Sagamihara are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.
Sagamihara are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 8 games (in the league).
