For the league, Imabari won 9 points out of 30 possible points, after 1 win, 6 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 home matches.

They haven’t won any of the last 6 home matches for this competition. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (5 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 6 of the last 11 for this competition have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 5 of the last 21 matches for the J2 League, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 5 matches and have held on to the lead in 4. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Imabari is not on a good run, having not won in seven rounds, only drawing 0-0 in the last one away to Fujieda. Playing in a 3-1-4-2 formation, the team has Marcus Vinicius (Índio) as their main attacking threat, with the Brazilian striker standing out for the frequency with which he appears in the area and for his efficiency in finishing, which keeps him as the team's top scorer. In midfield, Takatora Kondo is the one who provides the necessary balance, combining intensity in marking with quality in distributing the plays. For the next match, the coach will not be able to count on midfielders Yuki Kajiura, Kyota Mochii and Hikaru Umakoshi, all out due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Toru Takagiwa, Rei Umeki, Naoya Fukumori, Tetsuya Kato, Ryota Ichihara, Hikaru Arai, Vinícius Diniz, Kenshin Yuba, Yumeki Yokoyama, Patrick Verhon, Marcus Índio.
Coach: T. Hattori.
