General match analysis
Shonan Bellmare sit 6th, while Imabari are 20th, and the visitors’ overall season record shows just 1 defeat in 7 matches compared with 5 defeats for the hosts. Imabari have scored 4 goals in their last five matches and lost 3 times, whereas Shonan have scored 8 goals over the same period and suffered only one defeat. Shonan’s away defensive record is crucial: they concede an average of just 0.5 goals per match and keep a clean sheet in 75% of their appearances, while Imabari allow opponents an average of 2 goals at home. The hosts have slightly higher average xG, 1.22 compared with 1.03, but their poor finishing and 33% of home matches without scoring limit the value of this advantage. The visitors have not lost any away match, but with 50% of their away fixtures ending in draws, a significant risk of a points split must be factored in.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Recent form supports goals at both ends: BTTS occurred in 60% of Imabari’s last five matches and in as many as 80% of Shonan Bellmare’s. Imabari conceded an average of 1.6 goals per match during this period, while Shonan Bellmare conceded 1.8, with opponents recording an average xG of 1.50 and 1.87 respectively. The visitors have also improved their attack over their last five appearances, scoring 1.6 goals per match, while the hosts, despite averaging only 0.8 goals, have not recorded a single match without scoring this season. The main risk to the pick is Shonan Bellmare’s highly solid defensive record earlier in the campaign, with 75% of matches ending with a clean sheet and just 25% BTTS across the season. However, their recent results clearly weaken this argument. Therefore, the scenario in which both teams score at least one goal is marginally more likely.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The season profiles of both teams point to a limited number of goals: Imabari average 1.00 goal, while Shonan Bellmare also average 1.00, with the visitors keeping a clean sheet in 75% of matches. The Under 3.5 goals line has landed in 67% of Imabari matches and 75% of Shonan matches, while neither team has scored more than two goals in a single game so far. The last five matches have been more open, with both teams recording at least three goals in 60% of their games, but xG remains moderate: 1.13 for Imabari and 1.20 for Shonan. Opponents' defensive xG figures of 1.50 and 1.87 suggest chances for both sides, but the projected total of 2.38 goals still clearly supports the Under 3.5 goals option.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Although 60% of Shonan’s last five matches ended in draws, Imabari lost 60% of theirs during the same period and conceded an average of 1.60 goals.
