The J2-League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Ehime and ThespaKusatsu Gunma are placed 22nd and 18th respectively.
- Ehime is in the worst form (0-2-3)
- ThespaKusatsu Gunma have yet to win a game away.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as ThespaKusatsu Gunma have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
