Kawasaki Frontale vs Yokohama F. Marinos

Kawasaki Frontale and Yokohama F. Marinos are set to trade tackles at the Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium in a mouth-watering J1 League showdown.

Kawasaki’s hopes of landing a top-three J1 League finish are hanging by a thread following an abysmal run of one win from four league matches (D1, L2). But with three games in hand on third-placed Cerezo Osaka, the reigning J1 League champions must be confident about bridging a four-point deficit. Playing at home could bolster Kawasaki’s bid to bounce back from a 3-1 away defeat to Urawa Reds last time out. Coming into this matchday, Toru Oniki’s men have gone unbeaten in three consecutive home league fixtures (W2, D1), netting 4+ goals in both victories. Furthermore, they have won five of their previous six top-flight H2Hs at home (L1), including the last two in a row by a two-goal margin.

In the meantime, visiting Yokohama F. Marinos claimed a comprehensive 2-0 home triumph over Kashima Antlers last time out, arresting a run of back-to-back league draws. That victory also forms part of Yokohama’s impressive nine-match unbeaten J1 League streak (W7, D2) as they sit at the league summit, six points clear of second-placed Kashiwa Reysol. Though undefeated in five away league outings ahead of this trip (W3, D2), they have drawn their last two top-flight fixtures on hostile turf. Both those stalemates yielded the same 2-2 scoreline and witnessed both teams score beyond halftime.
