Nagoya Grampus vs Yokohama F.Marinos Prediction: Expect Less Than Three Goals

From the lower region of the J League table, Nagoya Grampus will compete against Yokohama F Marinos. Although early in the season the two sides failed to buckle their belts, their lackluster streak of outcomes may set the tone for league exit come the end of the season. It will be an uphill battle for the two sides having huge odds of success against each other as they walk on ice for the next ninety minutes.

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

Hoping to complete a Yokohama double, Nagoya, who claimed a 2-1 victory against Yokohama FC, are once faced with victory expectations they ride out against derby rivals to their previous opponents, Yokohama F.Marinos.

Against Yokohama FC, they soldered up early, finding the opposition net in the sixteenth minute and doubling the lead nine minutes after halftime; thanks to opposing carelessness in the eighteen-yard box. The opposition got a consolation in the final embers of the game, nullifying the expectations of a clean sheet.

Nagoya Grampus would have to dig for gold again as they face Shonan Bellmare for their next league appearance, on foreign turf; leaving a 2-0 scoreline as the result of the last meeting between the sides.

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

Without ample time for Yokohama Marinos to marinate over their 2-0 win over Gamba Osaka, they surprisingly lost to Okayama Fagiano, a side taking the senior league by storm upon recent promotion.

The first leg of the game ended with a goalless stalemate, however, twenty minutes into the second half, the visitors got their breakthrough. The last five games for the side accumulated two losses, two stalemates, and one win.

Riku Yamane is expected to display individual brilliance for his team, mopping up errors and covering up as an extra option in dire situations.

Expert Betting Tips

The visitors have lost their last two games away from home failing to score. The hosts however have five goals in recent three home games. Although it is difficult to directly expect a home clean sheet, Marinos would field most of their star players since they are temporarily allayed of tensions from the AFC Elite Champions League. Still, not much is expected from a side domiciled in slumber.
