Jubilo Iwata vs Yokohama F.Marinos Prediction and Betting Tips (16.11.2024)

Command Analysis

Jubilo Iwata

Japan

Current form

Iwata is at risk of leaving the J-1 League. The team currently has 35 points and is in 18th place in the relegation zone. The gap to Kashiwa, which is in safe 17th place, is five points, but the opponent has one more match. It will be difficult for the hosts to count on a positive result, since they are having a very poor end of the season - only three points in the last five rounds. In the two previous matches, Iwata lost to Kobe (0:2) and Gamba Osaka (3:4). As you can see, Akinobu Yokouchi team is also unlucky with the calendar, since they now have to play against strong opponents.

Disqualifications and injuries

Morioka will not play due to injury, Suzuki will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Interesting trends for betting

Iwata have failed to win in the first half in four of their last five matches.
In three of Iwata previous four matches, both teams have scored goals

Estimated lineup: Kawashima - Hilo, Ito, Graza - Nishikubo, Uemura, Nakamura, Matsubara - Kraux, Germain, Takahata.

Yokohama F.Marinos

Japan

Current form

Yokohama Marinos clearly spent the season below expectations and forecasts in the J-1 League, for a very long time at the start the team did not demonstrate more or less stable play. As a result, at the moment John Harchinson charges occupy a modest 12th place, the maximum that the team can still achieve is to finish in the top 10. At the same time, Marinos are doing well in the Asian Champions League, where after four rounds they are in third place. It should be noted that Yokohama won the last two matches - first with a score of 5:0 they crushed Buriram United in the Asian Champions League, and then in the national championship they beat Sagan Tosu (2:1).

Disqualifications and injuries

Kato will not play due to injury, Watanabe has too many yellow cards.

Interesting trends for betting

Yokohama Marinos have not lost in the first half in their last four matches.

Tip and bets

1.77Yokohama Marinos with a handicap (0)

For the hosts, the upcoming match is of the utmost importance, as a defeat today will send the team to the J2 League. However, Iwata is not at all impressive in terms of play right now, and it will be difficult to beat a superior opponent with just motivation. Yokohama Marinos has noticeably improved at the end of the season, winning two matches in a row and will clearly try to build on their success in the duel with the outsider.

Our prediction is a victory for Yokohama Marinos with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.77

Yokohama Marinos' matches are regularly high-scoring. However, it is worth noting that in the previous six head-to-head encounters, no more than three goals have been scored, and it is unlikely that this streak will be broken today.

The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.65

Bet on the first half

Four of the five previous head-to-head encounters ended in a draw at the end of the first half. We think that the opponents will not force the events on the field in the upcoming match.
