Ehime FC
DLDDDL ⚠
After being beaten in their last game against Tokushima Vortis in J2 League action, Ehime FC and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
Lucas Barcelos (44') and Ko Yanagisawa (76') scored for Tokushima Vortis.
Ehime FC have attacked well in their most recent fixtures, having scored 7 times in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, Ehime FC have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same games. Previous results aside, we will just have to wait and see whether the trend shall be replicated here in this game or not.
A look at their previous results shows us that Ehime FC:
- have not been beaten in their last 5 away league matches.
- are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.
