J2 - Football - Japan - J League 2

The 11th placed, Zweigen Kanazawa, returns to Ishikawa Seibu Stadium to receive the visit from 3rd placed, Yokohama FC, for the game regarding the 21 round of J2 League.

Zweigen Kanazawa saw their four games unbeaten run, three consecutive victories, come to an end in the 5-1 defeat against Fagiano Okayama. Zweigen Kanazawa was the antithesis of their previous games, allowing more than one goal, up to five, and not being able to score more than once, they have been scoring two or more. Now back at home, with an ongoing streak of three matches unbeaten, Zweigen Kanazawa will strive to return to winning ways.

Yokohama FC accumulates four games unbeaten, three of those in J2 League and the Emperor's Cup game against Sony Sendai, which was decided in penalties. Their previous defeat was against top of league Albirex Niigata, sole game in the last five in which they did not score. Yokohama has continue scoring, but the production from their main strikers, Kosuke Saito, Sho Ito and Koki Ogawa has been poor with one goal each one in the last five games.

In the previous five games between them, two wins for Zweigen Kanazawa, a scoreless tie and two wins for Yokohama FC. In three of them goals from both teams, and one goal scored in the last one after an scoreless tie.

The recent form of both teams shows that an exchange of goals is possible, the recent form of Zweigen Kanazawa points towards that. Yokohama FC is clearly the favourite here due to their better standing and overall record, and meanwhile they have been scoring, their production has been poor, yet they have the potential to score more than once. Both teams should get in the score line as it will be a tighter game, it might be too close for comfort, but at least one goal per team here.
