The only name on the scoresheet from Vegalta Sendai was Ko Miyazaki (37').
A recurring theme in recent Vegalta Sendai games is the number of nil scores.
Taking their previous six clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser.
Going into this encounter, Vegalta Sendai are unbeaten in their last 2 home league matches.
Ehime FC will go into this game following on from a 2-3 J2 League win in the defeat of Montedio Yamagata in their most recent game.
For Ehime FC, the goals were scored by Shunsuke Tanimoto (7') and Toki Yukutomo (82'). Akira Silvano Disaro (45'), Ayumu Kawai (79' Own goal) and Yoshiki Fujimoto (91') scored for Montedio Yamagata.
The stats don’t lie, and Ehime FC have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 8 goals in all. Defensively, Ehime FC have seen their frailties exposed. It will be interesting to see if that trend can be sustained into this next match.
Their past results show that Ehime FC:
A review of their prior head-to-head meetings going back to 19/10/2008 tells us that Vegalta Sendai have won 3 of these games and Ehime FC 2, with the tally of draws being 1.
A sum of 15 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 9 for Vegalta and 6 being from Ehime. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.5.
The last league contest featuring these sides was J2 League match day 36 on 27/10/2024 when it ended Ehime FC 0-2 Vegalta Sendai.
The match was refereed by Yusuke Ohashi.
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Vegalta Sendai manager Yoshiro Moriyama to contend with from a near full-strength set of players. Keito Arita (Hamstring injury) will miss out.
In an otherwise healthy squad, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Ehime FC manager Kiyotaka Ishimaru to be concerned with. Taiga Ishiura (Metatarsal fracture) misses out for this game.
We’re inclined to think that Vegalta Sendai should dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.
At the other end, Ehime FC are also probably going to find it difficult to score a goal of their own but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be being dangerous at times.
Accordingly, we see a 3-1 winning margin for Vegalta Sendai at the end of the match.
Looking at the bookies’ prices on the win-draw-win market, a win for Vegalta Sendai is best priced at 1.65, a bet on the game finishing all-square is 3.8 and taking a punt on the winning team to be Ehime FC comes in at 5.25. They are the best of the prices on offer at present.
