The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Imabari are in the 8th position while the guesting Kamatamare Sanuki worry at 17th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
