Competition: Japan J3-League
Competition: Sat 08.October
Match begins: 04:00 (UTC)
Venue: NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium

Scrambling YSCC are aching to pull off a surprise when they greet top team Kagoshima United in the next league fixture. It’s 18th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have so-so expectations.

Insights:
  • YSCC have the fewest scored goals (18) in J3-League
  • Kagoshima United have the most scored goals in the first half (24) in J3-League

These teams have little in common geographically as Kagoshima United have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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!

YSCC form and stats

YSCC's struggle is real here at NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium with only 11 points collected from 13 J3-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-8.

No payout for YSCC in their previous match, an away game at Fujieda MYFC that ended in defeat 1-4.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Matsumoto Yamaga.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for YSCC here at NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 13 games). When YSCC hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Kamatamare Sanuki, Tegevajaro Miyazaki, Vanraure Hachinohe, Gainare Tottori and Sagamihara), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 4 times.
