Fukushima United desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 31 at 6:00 AM in the J3 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Fukushima United come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Matsumoto Yamaga are drawing too many games (4D in last 5), making this a relatively even contest on current form.

In 10 previous meetings, Fukushima United lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 3–3 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Fukushima United a slight edge, but Matsumoto Yamaga are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
