With their 5 point advantage in the league table, Omiya Ardija fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Ehime.
- All of Omiya Ardija's home-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
- Ehime is in the worst form (0-3-3)
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 Ardija as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
Omiya Ardija form and stats
Omiya Ardija have played three J2-League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Ardija are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 199 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by T. Osawa). Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Filip Kljajic not having conceded a league goal in 275 minutes.
Before that, Ardija played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Ryūkyū.
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 Ardija's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won four matches, drawn one and lost zero.
The manager K. Iwase will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Jubilo Iwata in only four days.
Ardija have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at NACK5 Stadium Ōmiya with 5 goals in 3 league matches. On the other hand, Ardija have conceded 4 goals.
Ehime form and stats
The J2-League season is young and Ehime, who have the the worst goal difference (-6) in J2-League, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
A 1-2 loss hosting ThespaKusatsu Gunma before that.
It looked so good for Ehime vs Fagiano Okayama, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Ehime when being an outsider away as they are today, we find ten matches with the visitors losing four times, drawing five and winning one game.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Matsumoto Yamaga in just four days.
The attacking power of Ehime when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Ehime manager S. Izumi has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Ardija, two draws and three wins for Ehime. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
