20th- against 9th place might not sound all that sexy. Here's the information that makes Ehime - Tokyo Verdy (even) more interesting!

Insights:
  • Ehime have the most conceded goals (39) in J2-League
  • Tokyo Verdy have the most points from losing position (16) in J2-League

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Tokyo Verdy have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
