Yokohama hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 24 points and a 14th position in the J-League table. Visiting Vissel Kobe holds 11th place with 36 pts.
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
4-1-7 (win-draw-lost) are the J-League numbers at home for Yokohama so far this season. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Yokohama to get some points in this home game.
The Yokohama crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to Oita Trinita here at Nippatsu Mitsuzawa Stadium in a J-League match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Shonan Bellmare (0-1).
Did Yokohama get overconfident in their match against Oita Trinita? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat. Heartbreak for Yokohama in their last match as Oita Trinita's T. Tanaka scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The Yokohama fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Yokohama with 24 goals conceded in these matches.
Vissel Kobe form and stats
As the visiting team in J-League matches, Vissel Kobe have produced an overall stat of 5-4-5 so far.
Vissel lost away at Shimizu S-Pulse (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that game was the away victory against Vegalta Sendai with the score of 3-2.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Vissel manager T. Fink as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Gamba Osaka.
The travelling fans enjoy Vissel Kobe's attacking play in away games, having scored 24 goals in 14 league matches away. Vissel struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 25 goals conceded from these games.
