Zweigen Kanazawa vs Imabari: match statistics

Zweigen Kanazawa have scored 12 goals in their last 5 matches, averaging 2.4 goals per game, while Imabari have found the net 8 times over the same period. The hosts have won 2 of their last 5 matches and average 1.2 points per game, whereas the visitors have just 1 win and average 0.8 points. Both defences have been inconsistent: Kanazawa have conceded 12 goals and Imabari 11, so chances can be expected at both ends. The hosts’ offensive edge and home advantage slightly favour a Kanazawa win, although their high number of goals conceded limits confidence in this prediction.

Recent form clearly supports goals from both sides: Zweigen Kanazawa recorded BTTS in 100% of their last 5 matches, while Imabari did so in 80%. The hosts scored an average of 2.4 goals during this period, but also conceded 2.4, highlighting the very open profile of their matches. Imabari averaged 1.6 goals per game, while their defence allowed opponents to score 2.2, meaning Kanazawa should create plenty of chances. The attacking potential is confirmed by xG: 1.85 for the hosts and 1.36 for the visitors, with Imabari allowing opponents 2.01 xG. The lack of complete season-long data limits confidence in the prediction, but Kanazawa’s current 12:12 record and Imabari’s 8:11 record across five matches strongly favour a scenario in which both teams score — BTTS - Yes.

Zweigen Kanazawa’s last five matches produced an average of 4.8 goals, with the team scoring 2.4 and conceding 2.4 goals per game. Imabari also plays an open style: in this run, they averaged 1.6 goals scored and 2.2 conceded, while 4 of their 5 matches went Over 2.5 goals. Kanazawa had Over 2.5 goals in each of their last 5 appearances, with both teams scoring in 100% of those matches; for Imabari, both figures stood at 80%. The hosts’ attacking potential is confirmed by an xG of 1.85, while Imabari allowed opponents 2.01 xG, making Over 1.5 goals the safest betting angle.

The strongest signal points to a scenario in which Imabari lead at the break, but Zweigen Kanazawa complete a turnaround after half-time. In their last five matches, the hosts were trailing at half-time in 60% of games, scoring just 0.2 goals and conceding 1.0 per match before the interval, while Imabari held the lead after 45 minutes in 40% of their outings. After the break, however, Kanazawa average 2.2 goals, clearly more than Imabari’s 0.8, while the visitors concede an average of 1.6 goals in this period. The hosts won the second half in 40% of their recent matches, compared with just 20% for Imabari, strengthening the prospect of a comeback. Both teams scored after half-time in 5 of 5 matches, and Kanazawa recorded a positive +4 goal difference in that period; therefore, the 2/1 HT/FT outcome is the most likely.
