Shimizu S-Pulse are welcoming Yokohama for another important game after their 3-4 result against 9th-placed Yokohama F. Marinos.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Yokohama form and stats
The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the J-League. Yokohama has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
The supporters enjoyed Yokohama's previous game versus Kashima Antlers (placed 12th), a J-League 1-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, a home win 4-2 against Shonan Bellmare.
Yokohama are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and two defeats. From a total of three matches.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Yokohama have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. The Yokohama manager T. Shimotaira has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: three - one - zero (Shimizu S-Pulse wins - draws - Yokohama wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
