An important duel in the bottom section of the J2-League, with both Ehime and Matsumoto Yamaga experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 22nd and the visitors in 19th place.
- Ehime have yet to win a game at home.
- Matsumoto Yamaga have yet to win a game away.
It's no vacation for neither Ehime nor Matsumoto Yamaga 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.
Ehime form and stats
0-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the J2-League numbers at home for Ehime so far this season.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Fagiano Okayama.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the J2-League game versus Albirex Niigata in only three days. This game is also played here at Ningineer Stadium.
The Ehime fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Ehime have conceded 6 from these games.
Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats
The visitors are W0-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the J2-League. Matsumoto has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Preceding that game, the 1-4 loss visiting Jubilo Iwata's place.
The match against Ventforet Kofu looked like a defeat for Matsumoto, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 3-3. K. Suzuki equalized in the 82nd minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against Ventforet Kofu was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Scoring three goals against Ventforet Kofu was a blast for K. Suzuki, the draw result 3-3 not so much fun.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting ThespaKusatsu Gunma in just four days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Matsumoto's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. Matsumoto Yamaga's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Ehime, five draws and five wins for Matsumoto Yamaga. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Ehime missing players
