Match Preview 31st Sec : VS Ehime FC at Ningineer Stadium on September 13

On June 23rd, Fagiano met the rival club at PRIDE OF CHUSHIKOKU Derby in their home town. During the match, former Fagiano's man, Tamabayashi stroke an opener. After the break, Ehime's ace attacker, Kawahara fired a fatal shot. Even though, Iwamasa stroke a goal, the result was certainly disappointing for Okayama.

Last month, a midfielder, Yasuda joined Ehime on a loan from Tokyo Verdy. Tamabayashi has constantly been on a pitch as a first choice. Kawahara can be viewed as a key player. He has already scored 9 goals so far this season. Former Sanfrecce Hiroshima's defender, Nishioka has been stable.

At last sec, Ehime FC defeated Tokyo Verdy. Ehime kept a clean sheet with their only one goal. They have certainly been in a good shape with 5 straight victories so far. Amazingly, Ehime beat former division 1 club, Cerezo Osaka and Omiya Ardija.

Ehime has made a strong showing so far at 6th position with 47 points as of now. Fagiano are expected to actively keep attacking and defeat the rival. Fagiano's attackers are required to rise up during the match.
