After more than 3 months of suspension, the Japanese second division will continue with the second round. Before that, Zweigen Kanazawa had a 0-1 defeat at Fagiano Okayama. In contrast, Matsumoto Yamaga won 2-1 at Ehime Stadium. This is not a surprising result when Matsumoto has just dropped out of the league (J1 League).

More broadly, Matsumoto also won 10 and drew 1 match against Zweigen and had 8/11 clean sheets. Therefore, the away team is a very favored choice in this match. Last season, Zweigen finished only 11/22 teams with a record of winning 15, drawing 16 and losing 11 matches. In particular, they won 7, drew 11 and lost only 3 home games. Meanwhile, Matsumoto finished 17/18 in the J-League with only 6 wins, 13 draws and 15 losses. In particular, they only won 3, drawn 4 and lost 8 away matches and 13/15 conceded matches.
