Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J2-League this season. Zweigen Kanazawa have only managed 4 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses from their games here at Ishikawa Seibu Stadium.

Zweigen Kanazawa travelled for their previous game, a trip to Blaublitz Akita that ended 1-1.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Sagamihara the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Zweigen Kanazawa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won five times, drawn five and lost five.

There will be little rest for Zweigen Kanazawa after this match as they are travelling to Ryūkyū for a J2-League game in only four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Zweigen Kanazawa here at Ishikawa Seibu Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (16 from 18 games). On the other hand, Kanazawa have conceded 25 goals.

Ehime form and stats

As the visiting team in J2-League matches, Ehime have produced an overall stat of 6-5-7 so far.

Home advantage was not enough for Ehime in their previous game, as they lost their J2-League-match, hosting Kyoto Sanga, 0-1.

A 2-2 draw at Jubilo Iwata's stadium before that.

Ehime are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, four draws and six defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Machida Zelvia in just four days.

The attacking power of Ehime when travelling is not overwhelming with 17 goals scored from 18 league matches away. 22 goals have been conceded by Ehime in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Ehime - Kanazawa 1-3 was the end result in these contenders' latest H2H fixture, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the preceeding ten meetings): Zweigen Kanazawa won five games, three matches ended in a draw and Ehime have two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
