Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Shimizu S-Pulse & Yokohama F. Marinos face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Ybc Levain Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a J-League match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Gamba Osaka.

Shimizu S-Pulse form and stats

Shimizu participated in Ybc Levain Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.

0 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Shimizu S-Pulse have to build on here at IAI Stadium Nihondaira in the J-League. Shimizu are slowly digging their own grave here at IAI Stadium Nihondaira with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Cerezo Osaka match.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Vissel Kobe that finished 1-1.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Shonan Bellmare are coming to town in four days.

The lack of attacking qualities in Shimizu S-Pulse means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.
