View all of the FC Imabari v Ehime FC predictions, poll and stats below - as well as up-to-date odds.
FC Imabari will be looking for an improved result here following a 2-4 J2 League defeat last time out to Ventforet Kofu.
For FC Imabari, the goals were scored by Yumeki Yokoyama (8') and Verhon (43'). Mancha (59'), Leiria (64'), Yamata Naito (67') and Yoshiki Torikai (70') scored for Ventforet Kofu.
It has been all too rare in recent games where FC Imabari have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that FC Imabari have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 10 goals in the process.
Going into this one, FC Imabari are without a home win in the past 7 matches in the league. Fans are getting restless.
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Montedio Yamagata in J2 League action, Ehime FC and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
The only player to score from Ehime FC was Taiga Ishiura (90'). Akira Silvano Disaro (16', 72') and Keisuke Nishimura (82') scored for Montedio Yamagata.
Shinya Aono's Ehime FC have slotted home 6 times in the course of their most recent 6 matches. The number of goals that have been scored against them during the equivalent period equals 10.
The last league contest featuring these sides was J2 League match day 4 on 08/03/2025 when it finished Ehime FC 2-3 FC Imabari.
The referee was Tomohiro Inque.
Takatora Kondo (Knee medial ligament tear), Junya Kato (Torn ankle ligaments), Kyota Mochii (Broken ankle), Yuki Kajiura (Broken ankle) and Hikaru Umakoshi (Hamstring injury) won’t be playing for FC Imabari boss Keiji Kuraishi.
Owing to an otherwise available squad, there’s only the lone fitness worry for the Ehime FC manager Shinya Aono to be concerned with. Hayato Fukushima (Hamstring injury) won’t be playing here.
FC Imabari can and should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
In contrast, Ehime FC may well find it hard to get shooting opportunities although we do think that they will probably end up pulling one back during this clash.
Therefore, we are anticipating a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for FC Imabari at the conclusion of the game.
