💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Yokohama F. Marinos will probably see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

However, Sagan Tosu may well struggle to break down their defence, although we do think that it’s probable they’ll be converting at least once here, too.

Accordingly, we see a pretty comfortable 1-3 winning margin for Yokohama F. Marinos at the end of this one.
