Ōmiya Ardija
WDLDWL ⚖
Since a loss in their previous game against FC Tokyo in J. League Cup action, Ōmiya Ardija and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
The only player to score from Ōmiya Ardija was Kenyu Sugimoto (82'). Marcelo Ryan (56', 98', 105') scored for FC Tokyo. The match went to extra time and was won by FC Tokyo.
The stats tell the story, and Ōmiya Ardija have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 8 goals in total. In defence, Ōmiya Ardija seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. Despite that, we must now wait to see whether that pattern shall be sustained here in this game.
🗞️ Team News: FC Imabari
Yumeki Yokoyama (Acromioclavicular joint dislocation), Yuki Kajiura (Broken ankle), Wataru Noguchi (Cruciate ligament injury) and Takafumi Yamada (Calf injury) won’t be able to feature for FC Imabari gaffer Keiji Kuraishi.
🧠 Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Ōmiya Ardija and FC Imabari should play out a closely-fought contest here.
There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We’re therefore seeing a close game with a 1-1 score draw when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
