The visiting Machida Zelvia team are probably odds-on at Ehime, as the away side hold a 30 point edge from their 37 league matches this season.

Insights:
  • Ehime have the most conceded goals in the first half (30) in J2-League
  • Machida Zelvia have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded away.

It's no vacation for neither Ehime nor Machida Zelvia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Relegation threatens Ehime who should definitely be looking for some points here. Machida are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Ehime form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J2-League this season. Ehime have only managed 1 win, 7 draws and 10 losses from their games here at Ningineer Stadium. With 13 home J2-League games in a row without a win, the Ehime fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Matsumoto Yamaga game long ago, can be stopped today.

Ehime lost their last game at Zweigen Kanazawa (placed 17th) after a 1-2 scoreline.

Preceding that match was the home game against Kyoto Sanga that was lost 0-1.
