Ehime form and stats

Ehime's results here at Ningineer Stadium in the J2-League have been very modest with 3 victories, 4 draws and 13 defeats. Ehime has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager K. Kawai and the players. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Ehime, their manager K. Kawai and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Ehime haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 282 minutes ago. T. Kawamura scored that one.

Ehime lost their last game at Ryukyu (placed 17th) after a 0-6 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Ventforet Kofu with the scoreline 0-2.

As you see from the result above, Ehime suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

There will be little rest for Ehime after this match as they are travelling to Matsumoto Yamaga for a J2-League game in only four days.

Ehime have scored 14 league goals here from 20 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Ehime defense is not exactly impregnable. 30 goals conceded from 20 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
