With their 3 point advantage in the league table, Zweigen Kanazawa fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Ehime.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Zweigen Kanazawa form and stats
Zweigen Kanazawa have played three J2-League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Kanazawa are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Ishikawa Seibu Ryokuchi Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
Kanazawa lost their last game at Mito Hollyhock (placed 11th) after a 2-3 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Omiya Ardija with the scoreline 0-1.
Heartbreak for Kanazawa in their last match as Mito Hollyhock's Pitbull Halef scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
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 Kanazawa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost two.
Kanazawa are traveling soon after this match as the J2-League match at Giravanz Kitakyushu awaits in four days.
Kanazawa has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 0 goals from 3 games. 3 goals have been conceded.
Ehime form and stats
Things could have gone better for Ehime in their J2-League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. 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. Júbilo Iwata proved too strong as Ehime slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Ningineer Stadium. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Ryūkyū.
Ehime are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, four draws and three defeats. From a total of ten matches.
A new game in only four days for Ehime, the J2-League home match versus Montedio Yamagata. Busy days.
Ehime have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. Ehime have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Kanazawa, three draws and two wins for Ehime. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
