This season has been a rollercoaster for these participants so far, good and bad giving mid-table spots so far. Let's get ready for Honda - Kochi United!
- Honda have the the best goal difference (+8) in Japan Football League
- Kochi United have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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.
Honda form and stats
With 1 Japan Football League win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Honda are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home fans are hungry for more even though Honda have been steadily collecting points here at Honda Miyakoda Soccer Stadium through three straight draws.
A good away victory last time out for Honda, who won 3-0 against Criacao Shinjuku (placed 1st).
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Verspah Oita.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Honda have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 4 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 2 and lost 0.
At Honda Miyakoda Soccer Stadium, Honda has the goal stats of 6-6 (for/against) from 6 league fixtures.
