Yokohama F. Marinos, Recent FormYokohama F. Marinos head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-0 home win against Urawa Red Diamonds in their last league encounter. They came away from that fixture with 58% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Urawa Red Diamonds managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Manager Kevin Muscat will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 3 of their last 6 games. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row.
Goalscorer José Élber will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Yokohama F. Marinos.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Recent FormThe Sanfrecce Hiroshima squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Albirex Niigata, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 22 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Albirex Niigata's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Ezequiel Santos da Silva will be hoping to create problems for Yokohama F. Marinos in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
After a good 3-0 win for Yokohama F. Marinos in this pair's last league encounter, Sanfrecce Hiroshima will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The Sanfrecce defence has struggled at Nissan Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 visits. We have seen plenty of goals from Marinos when they play at home against Sanfrecce. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
