Sagamihara form and stats

Sagamihara's struggle is real here at Sagamihara Gion Stadium with only 6 points collected from 7 J2-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-3.

The Sagamihara supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Komazawa University in Emperor Cup and win 3-1.

Heartbreak before that as Sagamihara lost 0-1 at Renofa Yamaguchi's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sagamihara perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sagamihara as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Sagamihara has won nine of these, drawn four and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sagamihara as they are travelling to their away game against Montedio Yamagata in the J2-League. That match is three days after this one.

The Sagamihara fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sagamihara defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Ehime form and stats

Ehime have only collected 4 points from their away games in the J2-League, after 1-1-4 (6 played). Ehime has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Ehime might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Imabari proved too strong as Ehime slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Ningineer Stadium.

Prior to that match, the Ehime manager N. Saneyoshi faced defeat when travelling to Montedio Yamagata and losing 0-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Ehime in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Ehime, one draw and five defeats.

After this away game Ehime return home for a J2-League game against Mito Hollyhock. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Ehime when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Ehime have conceded 10 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
