2 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Yokohama have to build on here at Nippatsu Mitsuzawa Stadium.

The Yokohama fans got no joy from their last match, a J2-League game also here at Nippatsu Mitsuzawa Stadium: A 1-3 defeat against Kyoto Sanga. Preceding that game was the away draw at Kashiwa Reysol that finished 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Yokohama perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Yokohama as a small favourite), we find seven games. Yokohama has won 1 of these, drawn 4 and lost 2.

Machida Zelvia form and stats

2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Machida Zelvia playing as the away team this season.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a J2-League home defeat versus Mito Hollyhock with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Before that, Machida Zelvia travelled to Ryūkyū and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Machida Zelvia playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were 5 Machida Zelvia wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
