The league table in J2-League tells a story about these teams so far, with Albirex Niigata leading Ehime by 26 points. Match preview to follow:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Albirex and Ehime.

These teams have little in common geographically as Ehime have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Albirex Niigata form and stats

6-7-5 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for Albirex Niigata so far this season.

Happy days for Albirex in their previous game, a J2-League match away at Zweigen Kanazawa (placed 14th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Preceding that match was a defeat to JEF United (0-2).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Albirex as they are travelling to their away game against V-Varen Nagasaki in the J2-League. That match is three days after this one.

The Albirex Niigata fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 24 in 18 matches. Albirex have conceded 23 in these home matches.

Ehime form and stats

There's been little loot from Ehime's travels as they have only collected 17 points from 17 away games in the J2-League. Ehime only have 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws.

There were no winners in Ehime's previous match, a J2-League home game that ended 0-0 vs ThespaKusatsu Gunma (placed 20th). Prior to that match, the Ehime manager K. Kawai faced defeat when travelling to Giravanz Kitakyushu and losing 1-3.

A new game in only four days for Ehime, the J2-League home match versus Mito Hollyhock. Busy days.

The visiting Ehime have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 17 games. Ehime have conceded 25 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Ehime - Albirex 0-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: one - two - two (Albirex wins - draws - Ehime wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
