National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Consadole Sapporo or Yokohama F. Marinos that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Consadole and Yokohama F. Marinos.
These teams have little in common geographically as Yokohama F. Marinos have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Consadole Sapporo form and stats
Consadole participated in Ybc Levain Cup the last season, where they reached the final.With 1 J-League win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Consadole Sapporo are certainly not brimming with confidence. On the other hand, in the Ybc Levain Cup, Consadole Sapporo has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
The spoils were shared in Consadole's previous game, also at home. Visiting Nagoya Grampus travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Consadole lost 1-4 at Yokohama F. Marinos's place.
Lucas Fernandes felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Nagoya Grampus as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 90th minute.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sanfrecce Hiroshima are coming to town in three days.
Consadole Sapporo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Consadole with 12 goals conceded in these matches.
Yokohama F. Marinos form and stats
They also participated in Ybc Levain Cup last season. This ended in the group stage.2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Yokohama F. Marinos playing as the away team in the J-League this season.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Vissel Kobe in their previous outing. The J-League match ended in a draw 3-3. Before that, Yokohama secured a home win against Consadole Sapporo with the score 4-1.
Drawing 3-3 against Vissel Kobe after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-1. Their manager A. Postecoglou needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Yokohama, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
A new game in only three days for Yokohama, the J-League home match versus Kawasaki Frontale. Busy days.
Yokohama F. Marinos has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 11 goals from 7 games. Yokohama have conceded 14 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Consadole Sapporo, one draw and six wins for Yokohama F. Marinos. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
