Bangkok United vs Yokohama F.Marinos Prediction: The Japanese Side Should Prevail

Thai League side True Bangkok United are set to push the tides as they come in a toe-to-toe encounter against Japanese squad Yokohama FC within the walls of the Thammasat, Bangkok's home grounds. The 2017 game between the sides proved the futility of Bangkok's dependence on home advantage as they were beaten to the eventuality of time in a 3-2 goal margin. With a rather sour history against Yokohama F.Mariios, the Angels are in for a recumbent display of spirit - unless Yokohama put them in their place a second time.

Bangkok United

Recent Form: W-L-D-D-W

Bangkok United is currently the champion of the senior league division, Thai League 1, occupying the top spot. Thirteen points from the Group Stage of the AFC Champions League group stage earned the side a spot in the round of 161, where they face their nemesis Yokohama F.Marinios from Japan. A lot had changed since 2017 when the side met with Yokohama F.Marinos, and they can comfortably beat their chests to the confidence of a win. Save the 3-2 defeat to Korean side Jeonbuk Motors and the 1-1 brawl against Hiong Kong outfit Kitchee FC. They pretty much cruised through the Group Stage. Presently, they feature as the only team from Thailand in the competition and whereas they are champions in their home league, iyt remains to be seen how far they can take themselves in the unforgiving Round of 16 stage of the tournament.

Recent Form: W-L-L-D-W

Very few are supposed with Yokoham's flair so far as they have always been a force to be reckoned with. They picked up form late in the tournament, narrowly winning their second game against Chinese side Shangdong Taishan after a rather turbulent Matchday 1 game against Incheon United, who still defeated them in Matchday 5. They defeated Kaya FC home and way, earning nine points and securing a place in the Round of 16 stage. They edged over Bangkok  United seven years ago. But at the moment, the form seems to be dynamically different for the side that finished second place before the season rounded up last year.  Tussle is expected with goals to back up their claim if they are to seek progress in this competition.

Expert Betting Tips

With a difficult choice to be made outrightly and a relatively poor history between the sides, Consider these tips:

• Both sides are petulant goal-seekers. As such, we expect over 2.5 goals from this game at 1xbet odds of 1.74
• Secondly, given the recent form, Yokohama F. Marinos seems to have a slight preference for victory. As such, a narrow victory is projected at Bet365's odds of 1.80
• Finally, both teams are envisaged to get the ball past the net. Bet on a BTTS at odds of 1.61 odds.

Good Luck!
