🔮
Prediction
Our feeling is that Oita Trinita could find themselves struggling to breach the defence of this FC Imabari lineup who we think might well get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a hard-fought 1-0 advantage for FC Imabari at full-time.
It should be a good one.
