Fagiano Okayama and Mito Hollyhock meet in the league with both sides having gone a long time without winning consecutively, and both teams' most recent matches ended badly. The hosts were just thrashed in the league, while the visitors lost at home by a narrow margin. This game is therefore one where both sides want to steady themselves before the break. Fagiano Okayama are middling at home: five matches, two won, one drawn, two lost, but their home attack is not especially fearsome, averaging only one goal per game. Mito Hollyhock, meanwhile, have played four away matches with one won, one drawn, two lost, scoring an average of 1.3 goals per game, but they concede a fair amount too. Their away games often end with goals for both sides. The expected pattern is that the hosts will have more possession and try to push forward, while the visitors will sit back and wait for chances to counter at speed. If Fagiano Okayama still cannot break down the defence as in previous matches, the game could drag on and end closely contested. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how many real chances the hosts can create from their possession.
