July 6 J2 League: Renofa Yamaguchi vs Kagoshima United FC Asia's football and sports analysis
Overall, the team doesn’t have a very distinct goal-scoring ability. When a match isn’t going well, they tend to play very simply by setting up a target man at the front and sticking to long balls. However, Yamaguchi’s defense isn’t particularly bad. Unless they are playing against teams like Iwaki or Chiba that place a heavy emphasis on offense, they don’t often collapse dramatically.
- Absentees: Takahashi (DF / Grade B)
Kagoshima (Japan 2nd Division, 18th place / Recent record: D-L-W-W-L)
Kagoshima’s problem lies in how they respond to being pressed. In their last match, they conceded an equalizing goal due to a mistake in their own half that handed the attack to the opponent. Although they have been seeing some success in focusing on the second half lately, they might struggle as the tendency to stay in their own half when under pressure could cause issues.
