Iwaki have been busy practising for this game following their 4-0 result against Azul Claro Numazu, a match that made them wiser. How will they do against Ehime?

Insights:
  • Iwaki have the most scored goals (64) in J3-League
  • Iwaki have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Ehime have scored away.
