The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Júbilo Iwata are in the 8th position while the guesting Ehime worry at 22nd.

Ehime form and stats

4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Ehime playing as the away team in the J2-League this season.

The schedule is very tough for Ehime now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A J2-League game at Giravanz Kitakyushu is waiting in only three days.

Ehime are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 16 away goals from 15 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Ehime have seen the ball go into their own net 21 times on the road.
