This campaign has been strenuous for Sagamihara so far, while Ehime have done well. Will the visiting team get another notch in their belt at Sagamihara Gion Stadium?

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.

Sagamihara form and stats

Sagamihara have collected 10 points from their J3-League home games so far after 3-1-5. With Sagamihara having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Satsukawa.

A strong away win for Sagamihara against Kagoshima United the last match, as Ando were on target. At last, a league win after five fixtures without. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Satsukawa when Ando scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.

Preceding that match was the home game against Fujieda MYFC that was lost 0-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sagamihara have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 12 matches with the results: Won 8, drawn 3 and lost 1.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Sagamihara here at Sagamihara Gion Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 9 games). On the other hand, Sagamihara have conceded 12 goals.

Ehime form and stats

The visitors are W3-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the J3-League.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Ehime goalkeeper Kenta Tokushige is eager to challenge this, with his 254 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Ehime play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Kamatamare Sanuki (placed 15th).

A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Tegevajaro Miyazaki.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 10 similar matches played by Ehime in our archives, and the results are: 6 wins for Ehime, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Low on goals? 9 of this team's most recent 12 league matches have contained two or less goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ehime as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. Ehime have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
