Ehime FC

LLDDLL ⚠

Ehime FC will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 2-1 J2 League defeat last time out to Tochigi S.C.

The only player to score from Ehime FC was Makito Yoshida (96'). Koki Oshima (30') and Kisho Yano (76') scored for Tochigi S.C.

Ehime FC have really struggled up front of late. Their sum of goals stands at just 3 versus opposing sides during the course of their previous 6 outings. In those meetings, Ehime have also seen the tally of goals scored against them come to 10.

A look at their previous results shows us that Ehime FC:

• have not beaten Thespa Kusatsu in their previous 2 league matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 5 matches in the league. Their fans aren't happy.

Thespa Kusatsu

WWDLLL 📉

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Giravanz Kitakyushu in J2 League competition, Thespa Kusatsu and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

Takuya Nagata (37') and Daigo Takahashi (61') scored for Giravanz Kitakyushu.

The strike force from Thespa Kusatsu have suffered from a lack of goals over their last six clashes, netting the poor return of only 4. In those fixtures, Gunma have also seen the collective goal tally of their opponents equal 8. That sort of trend might not be sustained into this next game, of course.

Ahead of this clash, Thespa Kusatsu haven’t won away from home in the past 2 matches in the league.
