Renofa Yamaguchi

WDWLDW

Renofa Yamaguchi, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 4-0 J2 League success against Thespa Kusatsu.

For Renofa Yamaguchi, the scorers were Kota Kawano (4', 55'), Tsubasa Umeki (66') and Taiyo Igarashi (94').

Their more recent scorelines really do illustrate the point that huge efforts have been put in by the Renofa Yamaguchi backline. Renofa Yamaguchi have given the opposition little, with the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their last six matches standing at 4.

Mito Hollyhock

LDDDDD 🤝

In the game prior to this, Mito Hollyhock drew 2-2 in the J2 League tie with Tochigi S.C.

For Mito Hollyhock, the goalscorers were Atsushi Kurokawa (33') and Riku Ochiai (77'). Harumi Minamino (42', 73') scored for Tochigi S.C.

It has become apparent that Mito Hollyhock have made hard work of scoring goals in their past six clashes, recording the poor return of just 3. In those matches, HollyHock have also seen the overall goal aggregate of their opponents equal 4. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, though.

A look at their previous results shows us that Mito Hollyhock:

• are undefeated in their previous 2 league matches away from home.
• are without an away win for the past 8 matches in the league. Their travelling support will be needed here, for sure.
