Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats

Matsumoto Yamaga have collected 16 points from their J2-League home games so far after 4-4-4.

No payout for Matsumoto in their previous match, an away game at Gamba Osaka (after extra-time) that ended in defeat 0-2.

In the game before, an away victory in the J2-League match versus Blaublitz Akita with a 4-1 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Matsumoto perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Matsumoto Yamaga as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Matsumoto Yamaga has won four of these, drawn five and lost six.

The Matsumoto Yamaga fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 12 matches. 17 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Ehime form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ehime so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Ehime have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

Ehime delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Giravanz Kitakyushu (placed 22nd) in their previous match; a J2-League game.

Before that, Ehime travelled to ThespaKusatsu Gunma and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ehime playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Ehime wins, two draws and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ehime as they have only managed to score 11 times from 12 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Ehime rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 19 goals from these away matches.
