Vanraure Hachinohe desperately need points on Saturday, Nov 21 at 6:00 AM in the J2 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Ventforet Kofu come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Vanraure Hachinohe travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Ventforet Kofu and Vanraure Hachinohe have split their 1 meetings almost evenly (0W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Vanraure Hachinohe won 1–0.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Ventforet Kofu win or a draw looks most likely.
