The trend of at least one team not scoring a goal in games featuring Kashiwa Reysol has become fairly consistent in recent matches. Looking at their last 6 games shows that it has happened 5 times. During those clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal aggregate of 4 while Kashiwa Reysol have scored 7. Despite that, it remains to be seen if that trend might be sustained in this next game.

Going into this one, Kashiwa Reysol have not lost to Yokohama FC in away games against them for the last 3 league games.

📰 Team News: Yokohama FC

João Paulo (Tibia and fibula fracture), Kaito Mori (Broken collarbone) and Tsubasa Shibuya (Acromioclavicular joint dislocation) won’t be available for Yokohama FC boss Shuhei Yomoda.

In our view, Yokohama FC should kick off with a 4-4-2 system this time and select Hiroki Iikura, Ren Kato, Ken Matsubara, Thomas Deng, Katsuya Nagato, Yan, Takuya Kida, Riku Yamane, Daiya Tono, Anderson Lopes and Asahi Uenaka.

📰 Team News: Kashiwa Reysol

From a largely healthy squad, there is just the lone fitness issue for the Kashiwa Reysol manager Ricardo Rodríguez to contend with. Daiki Sugioka (Hamstring injury) misses out for this game.

We’re of the thinking that Kashiwa Reysol could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Tomoki Hayakawa, Ryuta Koike, Naomichi Ueda, Tae-Hyeon Kim, Koki Anzai, Kento Misao, Yu Funabashi, Aleksandar Cavric, Ryotaro Araki, Yuma Suzuki and Leo.

🔮 Prediction

When taking everything into account, Yokohama FC will need things to go their way to be putting a goal past this Kashiwa Reysol side who we reckon should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

Therefore, we predict a good tussle with a 0-1 victory for Kashiwa Reysol when all is said and done.

There should be little in it.
