The previous season, Imabari's league results were 7 wins, 9 draws and 12 losses, results that produced 11th place in the J3-League. From these 28 matches they scored 34 goals and let in 33. Playing as the host team in the previous season Imabari managed 6-4-4 (win-draw-lost) with 22 goals and 14 conceded. Imabari's first J3-League home game here at Yume Stadium ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from 14 matches.

Mineiro was the last player to score a league goal for Imabari and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Imabari haven't scored in 181 minutes.

Imabari's last game was hosting Kataller Toyama (placed 6th) and winning 1-0.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Fukushima United (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Imabari perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Imabari as a small favourite), we find six games. Imabari has won three of these, drawn one and lost two.

Kataller Toyama form and stats

Let's have a look at how Kataller Toyama performed last season in the J3-League: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 7 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 40 and conceded 34 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 3 and lost 6 with 20/23 goals scored/conceded. Only one away game in the J3-League so far for Kataller Toyama and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 victories, 3 draws and 6 losses from 14 travels.

Kataller Toyama lost away at Imabari (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Ehime with the score of 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kataller Toyama playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Kataller Toyama wins, four draws and three defeats.

It's early days yet, but Kataller Toyama has scored 2 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
