Match Preview 18th Sec : VS Thespakusatsu Gunma at Shoda Shoyu Stadium Gunma on June 14

In the past, Fagiano has not been good with the opponent because the overall record standing against Gunma is 3 victories, nine losses and one draw. Last season, Okayama lost both two matches.  


Hattori, who leads the team as a head coach, is experienced. He has worked for lots of J league clubs before, such as Avispa Fukuoka, Sagan Tosu and Albirex Niigata etc...  The former international, Nagai is remarkable. He has not scored any goals yet this season, however, this veteran forward has made a solid contribution to the team.


At last sec, Gunma was defeated by Tochigi SC, 1 - 5. During the match, Gunma was mostly on the back foot.  Right before the end of the match, Hattori's men scored a consolation goal.


Thespakusatsu stays 14th position with 20 points as of now. The club was qualified for the division 2 after the Japan Football League 2004 season. Since then, Hattori's men has never been promoted to the upper league. This term, Gunma struggles to score goals along with Fagiano, therefore, the match is expected to be relatively quiet game with low scores.
