Machida Zelvia
WLLLWL
Machida Zelvia will be hoping to bounce back here following a 1-0 J1 League loss in their previous game against Kashima Antlers.
In that game, Machida Zelvia had 43% possession and 10 shots at goal with 4 on target. Kashima Antlers had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. Kyosuke Tagawa (39') scored for Kashima Antlers.
A common trait of more recent Machida Zelvia games is the number of results with a nil in them.
From their prior sextet of clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser. Previous results aside, it remains to be seen if that pattern will be replicated in this next game.
Analysis of their past results shows that Machida Zelvia:
- are unbeaten in the league by Kyoto Sanga in their last 2 matches.
- are without a home win in the past 3 league matches.
Kyoto Sanga
WLWWLL

ℹ️ Team News: Machida Zelvia
There’s just a single fitness concern for the Machida Zelvia manager Go Kuroda to contend with from a near full-strength group. Takumi Narasaka (Cruciate ligament injury) is out of contention.
🗞️ Team News: Kyoto Sanga
Out of a mainly healthy squad, there is only the one fitness problem for the Kyoto Sanga manager Kwi-jae Cho to contend with. Sung-yun Gu (Meniscus injury) won’t be playing here.
⚡ Prediction
In our opinion, Kyoto Sanga will have to play well to see themselves scoring against this Machida Zelvia outfit who we think will manage to score & go ahead.
We’ve gone for a very competitive game with a 1-0 victory for Machida Zelvia at full-time.
Little in this one.
