Shonan Bellmare: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches LWLLD

The brief break from the league saw Shonan’s League Cup journey fostered towards the next stage, after beating Jubilo Iwata 2-1 on aggregate 2-0; 0-1. The Japanese Emperor Cup swooped in and they played against third placed side, FC Gifu, winning 2-0 at fulltime to earn a place in the next round.

Before the break, they took one point in a 1-1 home contest where they defied Okayama Fagiano, visitors who were initially tipped to be winners.

Shonan has struggled from home in the last three games, with weakened morale in front of the fans who have witnessed two losses and one stalemate. 

It cannot be really said the hosts have had a great season so far, with only six wins, four stalemates and nine losses. 

Shonan Bellmare: Lineup

Team: While it is quite clear that Shonan’s recent wins are drafted off victories against lesser squads, they haven't really shown much flair at home. It is expected that they put the 3-5-2 formation they have employed so far in the other competitions be redeployed and tested since it cannot be concluded that they have a working lineup tactic. 

Players: A few from the pack has risen in recent games, While Nemoto continues to be a target man, Defender Kim scored last week against Gifu. Akimi Barada has also shown brilliant colours in his position. Generally, they are expected to be solid if they can effectively combat second half fatigue.

Predicted Lineup (3-5-2): Kamifukumoto, Matsumara-Ono-Takahashi, Ishibashi-Okuno-Barada-Okuno-Fuji, Phellype-Nemoto

Head Coach:Satoshi Yamaguchi

Out: No injury concern

Machida Zelvia: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LDWDL

Half of Machida’s last eight matches ended in losses, with two wins and two stalemates sandwiched in between. Their struggle to remain in the mid region cannot be said to linger for long, given their board struggles which has been amplified both in the J League Cup (exited) and the Emperor’s Cup. 

Last week, they played third-tiered Kyoto Sangyo University and won 2-1; a performance many found disappointing seeing how the underdogs also had decent chances of taking victory points.

The League has not much promise for them - unless they buckle up and place all their hands on deck. Eight losses in nineteen games cannot promise much, and as such, the team must do more than they have displayed if they are serious about remaining in the league title race. 

Machida Zelvia: Lineup

Team: From what we saw in the Emperor's Cup, Machida Zelvia has serious problems in the final thirds, playing as if they had reservations going forward. If such is attempted against Shonan, then victory is not assured. With a deficit goal despite scoring 22, it is also evident that they concede as much as they score. 

Players: The midfielders bear the most blame, since their game plan focuses on the elasticity of the midfielders and wingers. Yuki Soma, substitute for S.Na, came in and delivered as a super sub. The delay in the change made fans a bit agitated at Go Kuroda’s sluggishness.

Predicted Lineup (4-3-3):Morita, Hayshi-Narasaka-Dresevic-Michizuki, Takahashi-Shirasaki-Sento, Na-Fujio-Kuwayama

Head Coach: Go Kuroda

Out: Nil
