Yokohama F. Marinos
LLLLLL 0
Yokohama F. Marinos will be hoping for a better result following the 1-2 J1 League losing effort in their last game against Vissel Kobe.
In that game, Yokohama F. Marinos had 52% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Yokohama F. Marinos was Takuya Kida (43'). At the other end, Vissel Kobe got 10 shots at goal with 3 on target. Erik (19') and Yuya Osako (51') scored for Vissel Kobe.
It has been seldom in recent times where Yokohama F. Marinos have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Yokohama F. Marinos have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 15 goals on the way. Such a pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, though.
Coming into this meeting, Yokohama F. Marinos are without a home win in the past 5 league games. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.
