Ehime take on the visitors Mito at “Ningineer Stadium” in the gameweek 20 of the Japanese J-League Division 2. The match will be played in Matsuyama on Saturday, June 23rd.
Ehime go through an extremely poor season. The side has managed to gain only three victories in 19 encounters conducted and, as a result, the club is sitting only on the pre-last position in the standings now with 14 points collected, being just two points above the major outsider of the league – Kamatamare. The team is in horrible competitive form which is proved by the five defeats taken in last seven clashes played. Ehime are not able to succeed at their own ground as well, having failed five out of nine home battles while two of three their triumphs happened on the road. It is worth mentioning that the club also looked poor in the previous season, having settled on the 15th place in the J-League Division 2 and having showed one of the worst results at the home field (12 defeats in 21 home tackles).

Although Mito are sitting higher in the standings than their forthcoming opponent, still, they have also failed in the first half of the season. The side currently occupies the 17th position in the J-League Division 2 table with 21 points earned, having reached six victories and three draws in 19 games played. The team won its latest away battle, having managed to cut its losing streak. Moreover, taking into account the most recent cup fight against the same Ehime, Mito succeeded in two out of last three encounters conducted.
Mito have great advantage over Ehime in their head-to-heads, having won five out nine clashes played during last three years. And even away character of the tackle doesn’t prevent the upcoming visitors from a triumph as they have celebrated victories in two out of four recent battles conducted on the road in oppose to the hosts’ single success. Nevertheless, Ehime are considered to be the favourites of the upcoming head-to-head, but bearing in mind that the club produces remarkably poor results in face of its supporters, having won only once in nine latest clashes plus it has awful personal statistics against Mito, I believe that the visitors will manage to extend their successful series and reach the third triumph in four clashes conducted.
Prediction for the match: Mito to win.
