Imabari Tokushima Vortis betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 9^th position of the league, with 25 points won, after 6 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against JEF United, by (0‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Ventforet Kofu, by (1‑0). Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 17 points in away matches and only 8 at their stadium. They come to this match after a home loss against Kagoshima United by (0‑2). For the league, Imabari won 8 points out of 24 possible points, after 1 win, 5 draws and 2 losses in the last 8 home matches. There are a few recurrent results in their home matches: at half‑time 0‑0 (4 out of 8 matches) and after the 90' 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 5 of the last 8 for this competition have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 4 of the last 16 matches for the J2 League, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 2 of those 4 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the match in all of them. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 16 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 12 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 15 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Imabari is not enjoying a positive streak, having lost again away to Ventforet in the last round by 1-0. With the 3-1-4-2 as their tactical formation, the team has found in Brazilians Marcus Vinicius and Wesley Tanque their main strength in the offensive sector. While Tanque imposes his physical presence and challenges the defenses in close combat, Vinicius stands out for his mobility and goal-scoring instinct, being the team's top scorer and a constant figure in the finishing. For the next round, the coach will have to deal with the absences of Wataru Noguchi and Yuki Kajiura, both of whom are in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Genta Ito, Danilo, Rio Omori, Yuri Takeuchi, Vinicius Diniz, T. Kondo, Yumeki Yokoyama, Kenshin Yuba, Hikaru Arai, Wesley da Silva, Índio.
Coach: T. Hattori.
