📏 Form Guide
Thespa Kusatsu
LLWDLL
Thespa Kusatsu will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 4-0 J2 League loss in their previous game against Shimizu S-Pulse.
Carlinhos Júnior (20'), Zento Uno (27'), Teruki Hara (45') and Abdul-Aziz Yakubu (75') scored for Shimizu S-Pulse.
It has not been often in recent times where Thespa Kusatsu haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Thespa Kusatsu have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 9 goals on the way. That sort of trend won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, however.
A look at their previous results shows us that Thespa Kusatsu:
- have not emerged victorious against Yokohama FC in their last 6 matches in the league.
- have not won at home in their last 17 matches in the league. It's getting extremely desperate.
Yokohama FC
WWWDWD 📈

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Yokohama FC:
- have left without a victory over Thespa Kusatsu when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
- have not been beaten by Thespa Kusatsu in away games against them for the last 2 league games.
- are undefeated in their last 6 away league matches.

📰 Team News: Yokohama FC
Yokohama FC boss Shuhei Yomoda has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Kaito Mori (Cruciate ligament injury) and Hirotaka Mita (Hamstring injury) can’t be considered.
🔮 Prediction
In our view, Thespa Kusatsu have it within them to put a goal past this Yokohama FC lineup, although just one goal may not be as many as they’ll concede.
Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 1-2 winning margin for Yokohama FC at the end of the 90 minutes. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
