Parceiro Nagano form and stats

When playing at home in the J3-League, Parceiro Nagano have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 10 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Minami Nagano Sports Park Stadium.

Parceiro are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Vanraure Hachinohe. Up until that fixture this club had gone six consecutive league meetings without a defeat.

Ahead of that match, Parceiro Nagano won a home game hosting Kataller Toyama (1-0).

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 Parceiro Nagano have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 3 and lost 6.

A decent goal production from Parceiro in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 10 league matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
