It's early days in the J3-League and both Imabari and YSCC are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
- YSCC have the fewest scored goals (1) in J3-League
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Imabari form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Imabari's two home games in the J3-League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Yume Stadium.
Imabari faced defeat in their previous match, away at Grulla Morioka (2-3). Ahead of that match, Imabari won a home game hosting Gainare Tottori (2-0).
Heartbreak for Imabari in their last match as Grulla Morioka's T. Nakamura scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
At Yume Stadium, Imabari has the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
YSCC form and stats
No J3-League points yet away for YSCC, from their first 2 matches. With two straight losses from their last two away games, YSCC are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
YSCC aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 348 league minutes without a goal. C. Nduka was the last player to find the net.
There were no winners in YSCC's previous match, a J3-League home game that ended 0-0 vs Kagoshima United (placed 8th). A 0-1 defeat away at Azul Claro Numazu before that.
It's early days yet, but YSCC has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
As for the last two games between these two teams, there's one Imabari victory, one draw and zero YSCC wins. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
