Yokohama FC

DWDLLL 📉

Yokohama FC will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 2-0 J1 League loss in their previous game against Tokyo Verdy.

In that match, Yokohama FC had 65% possession and 10 shots at goal with 3 on target. Tokyo Verdy had 5 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Itsuki Someno (36') and Issei Kumatoriya (91') scored for Tokyo Verdy.

Yokohama FC have been quite ineffective in attack in recent times. Their sum of goals equals just 4 vs opponents over the course of their previous six outings. In those games, Yokohama FC have also seen the tally of goals against them total 7. Nevertheless, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend might be sustained in this game or not.

Their previous form shows that Yokohama FC:

• have not registered a win against Avispa Fukuoka in their previous 4 matches in the league.
• have not won at home in their last 2 league games.

Avispa Fukuoka

WLDDLL

Since being beaten in their last game against Kashima Antlers in J1 League action, Avispa Fukuoka will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Avispa Fukuoka had 43% possession and 10 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. For their opponents, Kashima Antlers got 14 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Léo Ceará (43') scored for Kashima Antlers.

The numbers tell their own story, and Avispa Fukuoka have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals in all. Defensively, Avispa Fukuoka just haven’t been too solid at all.

Their prior results show that Avispa Fukuoka:

• are winless against Yokohama FC in games played away from home for the previous 4 league games. Not good.
• remain undefeated by Yokohama FC when having played them away from home in the previous 6 league games. An impressive run.
• have not won away from home in their last 3 league matches.

✨ Prediction

Our feeling is that Avispa Fukuoka are dangerous enough to put one past this Yokohama FC team, although it may not be as many as they will have scored against them.

We think that it’s going to be both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Yokohama FC at the end of this one. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
