Ehime form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Ningineer Stadium as Ehime have scored 22 goals to get 22 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the J3-League are 7-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). After failing to beat Fukushima United here at Ningineer Stadium, Ehime has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

Before that game, the 7-2 home victory against Gainare Tottori.Ehime can score goals in their home matches. After 10 league matches they have found the net 22 times. It's worth mentioning that 11 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
Gifu form and stats
Gifu have only collected 11 points from their away games in the J3-League, after 3-2-6 (11 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Gifu are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Fujioka was the last player to score for the away team. Gifu haven't scored a league goal in the last 216 minutes.
There might be some fixture complaints from Gifu as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-1 against Imabari.
Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Gainare Tottori's place.Gifu are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.
Observe that 13 of this team's 17 latest league matches have ended with at least three goals.
