Welcome to Ningineer Stadium and the fixture between Ehime and Fukushima United in the J3-League. Here's everything you must know!

Insights:
  • Ehime have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Fukushima United have the fewest scored goals in the first half (1) in J3-League

These teams have little in common geographically as Fukushima United have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
