- Ehime have the fewest scored goals in the first half (0) in J3-League

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Fukushima United, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.
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!
Ehime form and stats
Three J3-League home games done for Ehime, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.
The home team returns to Ningineer Stadium after drawing with Giravanz Kitakyushu (placed 9th) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0.
Ahead of that match, Ehime won a home game hosting Sagamihara (2-1).This is expected to be a close game, with Ehime perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ehime as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Ehime has won zero of these, drawn four and lost eight.
Ehime are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
Fukushima United form and stats
Fukushima United are happy with their away performances in the J3-League so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels.
180 minutes! That's how long the Fukushima United goalkeeper Kaito Yamamoto and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Fukushima are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the match against Sagamihara (placed 15th). The end of the last match, against Sagamihara, was very satisfying as Takahashi scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
A 0-0 draw at Kamatamare Sanuki's stadium before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fukushima United playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were seven Fukushima United wins, two draws and seven defeats.
6 goals so far away for Fukushima United, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 3 league matches away.
