Renofa Yamaguchi

DDDDLW

Renofa Yamaguchi head into the encounter following a 0-1 J2 League win to defeat Júbilo Iwata in their last fixture.

The only player to score from Renofa Yamaguchi was Ota Yamamoto (66').

Renofa Yamaguchi have been a threat going forward leading up to this encounter, scoring 8 times in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Ryo Shigaki will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Renofa Yamaguchi have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same games. Nonetheless, we must now wait to see if that trend shall be sustained here in this match.

Looking at their past form shows that Renofa Yamaguchi:

• are undefeated in their previous 3 league matches away from home.
• are without a win away from home in their last 11 league games. It's not a good run at all.
