The ASICS Satoyama Stadium is set for a fierce showdown this Sunday, May 11 at 05:00 GMT, as Imabari, currently fourth in the standings, take on league leaders JEF United Chiba in Matchday 15 of Japan’s J2 League. Let’s take a look at both teams’ stats.
Recent Form and Key Stats
Imabari are unbeaten in their last five matches, recording two wins and three draws. They show a solid overall balance, having scored 20 goals and conceded just 11 in 14 games, giving them a goal difference of +9. They also boast the tournament’s third-highest scorer so far, Marcus Índio, with 7 goals. Motivation is high going into this clash, as they sit just three points behind second place. However, they’ve struggled to secure a home win lately, drawing their last two matches.

With 28 goals scored and a goal difference of +15, they are a highly efficient attacking side and disciplined in defense. Still, their recent 1-2 stumble against Omiya could affect the squad’s morale heading into this challenging away fixture.
