Struggling Yokohama will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Cerezo Osaka in the upcoming league round. It’s 13th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Yokohama form and stats

With 2 J-League wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Yokohama are certainly not brimming with confidence. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Yokohama after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Yokohama enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Shimizu S-Pulse's place. The match ended 3-2 with Y. Minagawa and Y. Matsuo scoring. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Kashima Antlers.

Yokohama are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. Yokohama are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (16 from 8 played).
