FC Imabari prepare for this fixture coming off the back of a 0-0 J2 League draw against Vegalta Sendai.
Their latest results really do illustrate the point that much respect should be given to the FC Imabari backline. FC Imabari have given the opposition little, with the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past six matches standing at 4. We will have to find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.
Coming into this meeting, FC Imabari have not been beaten in their last 4 home league matches.
Ōmiya Ardija will go into this match following a 1-2 J2 League win vs AFC Blaublitz Akita in their most recent outing.
For Ōmiya Ardija, the scorers were Yosuke Murakami (23') and Kenyu Sugimoto (80'). Ryota Inoue (47') was the scorer for AFC Blaublitz Akita.
The stats tell the story, and Ōmiya Ardija have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 8 goals overall. In defence, Ōmiya Ardija have been far from perfect.
Yumeki Yokoyama (Acromioclavicular joint dislocation), Yuki Kajiura (Broken ankle), Wataru Noguchi (Cruciate ligament injury) and Takafumi Yamada (Calf injury) won’t be available for FC Imabari gaffer Keiji Kuraishi.
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.
Looking at the bookies’ prices in the win-draw-win market, victory for FC Imabari is best priced at 2.6, going for the draw is 3.2 and staking on the winning team to be Ōmiya Ardija can get you 2.7. Those are the most competitive prices on offer at the current time.
