# League Pulse Week 43: J2 League, 2026

Vegalta Sendai leads J2 League with a deservedly earned 24 points thanks to the league's best defense, while Blaublitz Akita and Sagan Tosu underperform their xP values and Kataller Toyama impress offensively despite a seventh-place position. The upcoming round points to a clear favorite win for Sendai against a leaky Imabari defense.
