Yokohama F. Marinos

DLWDDL

Yokohama F. Marinos won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 2-1 J1 League defeat last time out to Urawa Red Diamonds.

In that game, Yokohama F. Marinos managed 50% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Yokohama F. Marinos was Hijiri Kato (86'). Urawa Red Diamonds had 18 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Atsuki Ito (42', 66') was the scorer for Urawa Red Diamonds.

It’s not been often in recent times where Yokohama F. Marinos have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Yokohama F. Marinos have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 10 goals in the process.

Al-Ain

Al-Ain head into the match following on from a 0-1 Arabian Gulf League win against Khorfakkan in their last outing.

Illustrating their fondness for fruitful encounters, the back of the net has been hit 21 times in the last six games in which Al-Ain have taken to the pitch, making it a mean average of 3.5 goals each clash. Opposition teams have got 11 of those goals. That sort of trend isn’t assured to follow through here, though.

🗞️ Team News: Yokohama F. Marinos

The Yokohama F. Marinos manager Harry Kewell will be thankful to have no fitness concerns at all before this match with a fully healthy group available for selection.

📋 Team News: Al-Ain

From a largely healthy squad, there is only the lone fitness issue for the Al-Ain gaffer Hernan Crespo to be concerned about. 3   (Al-Ain FC) won’t be in action.
