The match between Imabari and Kagoshima United promises to be an exciting clash as these two teams battle for points in the relegation zone. Imabari has struggled this season, sitting in 16th place with only 4 wins so far. Their star striker Nakazawa has been out injured for the past month and his absence has really hurt their scoring ability. However, Imabari does have a strong defense that has allowed the fewest goals in the league. If they can find their scoring touch, their defense gives them a chance to steal points.
Kagoshima United currently holds the first spot above the relegation line in 15th, though they have lost 3 straight matches. Their defense has been lackluster, conceding 11 goals in their last 5 matches. To make matters worse, their top center-back Sasaki is suspended for this critical match. Kagoshima will need to tighten things up at the back if they want to get a result on the road. Their attack has also struggled as of late, finding the net just twice in the losing streak. Striker Akashi will need to start converting chances if Kagoshima wants to climb up the table.
The midfield battle could be key. Imabari's veteran pairing of Suzuki and Tanaka have been rock solid all season in protecting the defense and starting attacks. But they may be challenged by Kagoshima's young guns Omori and Kobayashi who have pace and skill . Further up, if Imabari's Nakazawa is able to make his return from injury, he could pose a serious threat to the leaky Kagoshima defense. However, even at home this will be no easy match for Imabari given their poor form. Kagoshima will fight hard looking to get back in the win column and elevate themselves further from the drop zone.️ This match could go a long way in determining who will survive relegation at the end of the season. Expect an intense 90 minutes between these two desperate squads. - https://mbscore.tv/match/imabari-vs-kagoshima-united-18778039
