The visiting Albirex Niigata side should be favourites in this visit to Ehime, as the away team holds a 16 point advantage from their eight league games this season.
- Ehime have yet to win a game at home.
- Albirex Niigata have the most scored goals (22) in J2-League
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 Ehime and Albirex Niigata.
Albirex Niigata have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

When playing at home in the J2-League, Ehime have managed 0 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games. Ehime have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Ehime, who played 0-0 against Matsumoto Yamaga. That match was also played at this venue (Ningineer Stadium). A strong away win before that one, visiting Omiya Ardija and winning 1-0.
