Imabari is not on a good run, having not won in seven rounds, only drawing 0-0 in the last one away to Fujieda. Playing in a 3-1-4-2 formation, the team has Marcus Vinicius (Índio) as their main attacking threat, with the Brazilian striker standing out for the frequency with which he appears in the area and for his efficiency in finishing, which keeps him as the team's top scorer. In midfield, Takatora Kondo is the one who provides the necessary balance, combining intensity in marking with quality in distributing the plays. For the next match, the coach will not be able to count on midfielders Yuki Kajiura, Kyota Mochii and Hikaru Umakoshi, all out due to injury.
