Command Analysis

Yokohama FC

Current form
Yokohama competed in the J-2 League last season, eventually took second place in the standings and thus made its way into the elite of Japanese football. The club held 38 matches, in which it was able to win 22 victories, achieved 10 world championships and lost only in six confrontations. The team conceded only 27 goals, which was the best result in the championship. It is worth noting that in the last four rounds, Suhei Yomoda's team failed to win a single victory, but retained their place in the TOP 2. The team's forwards score a little, and Brazilian top scorer Ciprini Pinto scored only seven goals, four of which were from the 11-meter mark. The national championship ended in November last year, but the club did not hold a single friendly match.

An injured Iwatake will not help the team.

FC Tokyo

Current form
In the last season of the J-1 League, the team failed to break into the top three and represent the capital of Japan in the Asian Champions League. Tokyo finished seventh in the season-ending standings and was 12 points behind the TOP 3. In 38 matches, the club was able to win 15 times, completed nine world matches and was defeated in 14 matches. Rikizo Matsuhashi's men scored 53 goals, which is a good indicator for the average elite of Japanese football. The only and main task of the team for the new season is to take a place in the top four and make it to the Champions League. In their last match, the squad defeated Cerezo Osaka (3:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players in the team.
Interesting betting trends

In the last two matches of the home club, there was a draw in the first half.
2.10The bet is the 2nd half: Tokyo will score
In 3 of the last 5 games, the visitors scored in the second half.
1.85Tip and bets
In our opinion, the visitors are not going to give away three points in this match. At the moment, Tokyo looks stronger, is fighting at the proper level, and at the same time, the team intends to take revenge for the last face-to-face defeat against Yokohama. The hosts haven't been doing well lately and haven't won a single victory in the last four meetings. We believe that the capital's team will outplay the opponent in the class.
Forecast – Asian handicap (0) on Tokyo with a coefficient of 1.95
Betting on team goals
Tokyo is playing away, intends to act as the first number and will not forget about defense. The opponents will try to keep the goal intact, and in the last three face-to-face games on the Yokohama field, the teams did not exchange balls, which we expect today.
The forecast is that both will not score with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on the total
In the last three face-to-face games of the five opponents, a total of more than 2.5 goals was not scored, and the opponents do not intend to play openly. The guests will act defensively on the counterattack and are not going to give the initiative to the opponent. We believe that there will be few goals in Yokohama.
The forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.77
