The home fans expect a win in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a stumbling visitor. JEF United are in 12th position while the guesting Ehime worry at 20th.
- JEF United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Ehime have the most conceded goals in the first half (24) 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.
It's quite the trip for Ehime when visiting JEF as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
JEF United form and stats
The story so far in the J2-League for JEF United at their home stadium (Fukuda Denshi Arena) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats.
JEF's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Júbilo Iwata (placed 1st).
Prior to that, an away loss at Sagamihara.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from JEF United's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn zero and lost one.
The JEF United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 14 matches. JEF have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Ehime form and stats
4-4-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Ehime in their J2-League matches away.
Ehime's last game was the home draw against Omiya Ardija (3-3). An insane game with plenty of goals last time out for Ehime, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this game be as full of joy?
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Fagiano Okayama that ended 0-0.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Ehime playing away, we found ten games. Results were one away win, five draws and four home wins.
The attacking power of Ehime when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 14 league matches away. 19 goals have been conceded by Ehime in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
