Fukushima United desperately need points on Sunday, Oct 25 at 8:00 AM in the J3 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Ehime FC come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Fukushima United travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Ehime FC won their last outing, while Fukushima United suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Ehime FC and Fukushima United have split their 4 meetings almost evenly (1W–1D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Ehime FC won 1–4.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Ehime FC clear favorites, but Fukushima United have shown they can grind out results. Expect Ehime FC to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
