The league table in J2-League tells a story about these teams so far, with Avispa Fukuoka leading Ehime by 6 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 Avispa Fukuoka and Ehime.
Avispa Fukuoka form and stats
Avispa Fukuoka must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three J2-League games here at Level-5 stadium. Two home wins in a row for Fukuoka bring valid hopes of a third.
Fukuoka are confident in defense, having played 320 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
The Fukuoka supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Fagiano Okayama in J2-League and win 1-0. Before that match, a win away at Tokushima Vortis.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Fukuoka handle that role? We have found twelve games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, three draws and four defeats.
The manager S. Hasebe will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Omiya Ardija in only four days.
Avispa Fukuoka are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Fukuoka are not conceding a lot of goals here at Level-5 stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Ehime form and stats
Ehime are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the J2-League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ehime are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
There were no winners in Ehime's previous match, a J2-League home game that ended 1-1 vs Ryūkyū (placed 22nd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kyoto Sanga wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Ehime are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, four draws and three defeats. From a total of ten matches.
A new game in only four days for Ehime, the J2-League home match versus Júbilo Iwata. Busy days.
The visiting Ehime have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. As opposed to that, Ehime have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Avispa Fukuoka, two draws and two wins for Ehime. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
