Ehime will not look for any freebies from hosts Vanraure Hachinohe in this J3-League fixture. Here's your full match preview!
- Vanraure Hachinohe have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
These teams have little in common geographically as Ehime have to travel 1400 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.
Vanraure Hachinohe form and stats
Vanraure Hachinohe have played 8 J3-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).
The Hachinohe goalkeeper Yusuke Taniguchi is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 199 minutes without conceding a goal in the J3-League.
A nice win for Vanraure Hachinohe last time playing, versus Parceiro Nagano. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-0 with Kokubun, Himeno, Yamada and Inazumi scoring for the victors. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Vanraure Hachinohe played a great game against Parceiro Nagano and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
In the game before, an away victory match versus Sagamihara with a 1-0 scoreline.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 Hachinohe have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 12 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 4 and lost 6.
It should be added that a look at the 10 most recent league matches shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).
Vanraure Hachinohe are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. On the other hand, Vanraure Hachinohe have conceded 9 goals.

Ehime can call themselves comeback kings after the match against Kataller Toyama. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 4-3 victory. Fukahori scored the final goal. Fukahori certainly enjoyed Ehime's last game versus Kataller Toyama, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-3 victory.
A 1-1 draw at Matsumoto Yamaga's stadium before that.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Ehime in our archives, and the results are: 6 wins for Ehime, 4 draws and 3 defeats.
