- Yokohama have the fewest scored goals (14) in J-League

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
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J-League this season. Yokohama have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from their games here at NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium. When Yokohama hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Yokohama, Kashiwa Reysol, Kyoto Sanga, Shonan Bellmare and Albirex Niigata), they have won 1 of 2 matches!
No payout for Yokohama in their previous match, an away game at Kyoto Sanga that ended in defeat 1-2. Yamashita, a forward, was the best player for the team in that fixture, collecting a rating of 7.34 (out of 10). Yamashita hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.
Ahead of that match, a home win against Grulla Morioka in the Emperor Cup.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Yokohama here at NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 10 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Yokohama defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Gamba Osaka form and stats
There's been little loot from Gamba Osaka's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 9 away games in the J-League. Gamba Osaka only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. The fact that Gamba Osaka have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Kurokawa, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 9.03. Kurokawa scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and won 4 of 5 duels.
