Ryūkyū fight Fukushima United for kudos and success.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ryūkyū and Fukushima United.
Ryūkyū form and stats
Ryūkyū must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three J3-League games here at Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium.
The Ryūkyū fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at Tapic Kenso Hiyagon Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Fukushima United (placed 18th). The first loss after collecting points through three league matches.
A 2-2 draw away before that, with Imabari the opponent.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Ryūkyū matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat (from 4 games).
From these home matches, Ryūkyū have conceded only 2 goals.
Fukushima United form and stats
Fukushima United are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the J3-League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).
Fukushima play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Ryūkyū (placed 6th). That victory felt nice as this club had gone three league fixtures without victory.
A loss against Tegevajaro Miyazaki was the result prior to that, in a home game.The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.
Head 2 Head
The records show that this isn''t the first time these parties get together this season, as the fixture list show this recent match: Ryūkyū - Fukushima United 0-1. Head to head totals (for the preceeding seven meetings): Ryūkyū won two games, one match ended with a tie and Fukushima United got four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / three.
