Kochi United rooted to the bottom on 9 points
Beneath every other side in the league, Kochi United have 9 points.
FC Ryukyu Okinawa and Kochi United are far apart in the standings, with 14 points between them and FC Ryukyu Okinawa in front.
Successive defeats have taken some of the assurance from FC Ryukyu Okinawa's recent form. Judged purely by its 4-1 scoreline, the hosts' last match against Fukushima United FC offered no shortage of goals. Influential in attack, Taiga Ishiura has struck 5 times for the hosts.
Given no wins from 8 away from home, Kochi United can take little from their travels. Well beaten in their latest outing, the visitors succumbed 5-0 to Nara Club. The visitors' defensive record is a poor one, with 11 goals shipped across five matches.
