Tokyo Verdy
LWDWWL
Tokyo Verdy won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 2-0 J1 League losing effort in their last game against Urawa Red Diamonds.
In that match, Tokyo Verdy had 45% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Urawa Red Diamonds had 8 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Yusuke Matsuo (6') and Ryoma Watanabe (31') scored for Urawa Red Diamonds.
Tokyo Verdy have really struggled up front of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 4 against opposition teams during their previous 6 fixtures. In those meetings, Tokyo Verdy have also seen the tally of goals against them come to 4. Nonetheless, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern shall continue on in this upcoming game or not.
Going into this contest, Tokyo Verdy are winless against Yokohama FC in their last 4 matches in the league.
Yokohama FC
WDWDLL ⚖
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Kashima Antlers in J1 League competition, Yokohama FC and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that game, Yokohama FC had 51% possession and 10 shots at goal with 2 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Yokohama FC was Kosuke Yamazaki (77' Own goal). At the other end, Kashima Antlers had 10 shots at goal with 7 on target. Aleksandar Čavrić (49') and Yuma Suzuki (67') scored for Kashima Antlers.
Shuhei Yomoda's Yokohama FC have converted 6 times throughout their latest sextet of matches. The aggregate of goals that they have conceded during those matches comes to 7.
Their previous form shows that Yokohama FC:
- haven't been defeated by Tokyo Verdy when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
- are without an away win for the past 8 league games. Who knows how long it might last, too.

Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Yokohama FC will have a tough ask to find the net against this Tokyo Verdy lineup who we think will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 victory for Tokyo Verdy at the end of the match.
Should be interesting.
