Preceding that game was the home draw versus Verspah Oita that ended 1-1.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Ehime form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ehime so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose).
Ehime might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Mito Hollyhock proved too strong as Ehime slumped to a 0-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Ningineer Stadium. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Mito Hollyhock was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Preceding that game was the away victory against Sagamihara with the score of 1-0.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 three Ehime wins, one draw and five defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ehime as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league.
