The guesting Vissel Kobe team should be favourites at Yokohama, as the guests own a 29 point lead from their 21 league fixtures this season.
- Yokohama have the fewest scored goals (15) in J-League
- Vissel Kobe have the the best goal difference (+25) in J-League
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Emperor Cup game only four days ago. That game, against Ventforet Kofu, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Vissel Kobe.
Yokohama form and stats
With 2 J-League wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Yokohama are certainly not brimming with confidence. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Yokohama drew their last game, 1-1 away at Sanfrecce Hiroshima (placed 8th). Midfielder Hayashi was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.34 (out of ten) in that game. Hayashi scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that match, a defeat in the away fixture against Kochi United 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 11 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Vissel Kobe form and stats
Vissel Kobe's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Vissel Kobe collect 20 points from their 9 away matches in the J-League. 6 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). Vissel Kobe has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Two away games in a row for Vissel Kobe, whose boss Yoshida could celebrate last time after the Emperor Cup win against Ventforet Kofu.
A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Kawasaki Frontale in the J-League.Vissel have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 20 goals from 9 away matches. It's not easy to score on Vissel Kobe as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Yokohama and Vissel Kobe have duelled earlier this season: Vissel Kobe - Yokohama 3-0. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Yokohama two wins, one draw and Vissel Kobe seven victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
