Shonan Bellmare vs Yokohama F. Marinos Prediction: More Losses, and Yokohama’s New Manager May Land On The Streets Of Japan -Like His Predecessor

Shonan Bellmare vs Yokohama F. Marinos: Prediction for the Match on June 28, 2025

Prediction for the J1 League game between Shonan Bellmare and Yokohama F. Marinos, which will take place at the BMW Stadium, Japan. 

A brief preview of the game, with a concise analysis of player form and team tactics is given below.

Shonan Bellmare: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: WLLDL

The Coastal boys from Shonan push their luck from the seventeenth league spot, way down the table after a couple of losses in key games that could have furthered their league ambitions. 

From home, Shonan still struggles, with three losses and one stalemate from the last four matches. Evident is the home streak against Machida Zelvia (1-2) and Okayama (0-1) which both produced losses. 

Despite their efforts towards a win, they have not tasted victory in four weeks, costing them five spots from their previous midtable occupancy

Shonan Bellmare: Lineup

Team: Shonan as a team have had a very weak campaign, barely breaking even with twenty two points in twenty games. At this moment, the struggle is to remain in the top division, and avoid relegation. Their display this season has shown poor preparation towards the league, which they have paid dearly for in the goals scored against them (25) when they have only scored ten, ranking them as the poorest attacking team this season.

Players: Sho Fukuda remains the top player for the team, with four registered goals in recent games. Phellype and Suzuki are close with three goals each. Quite a shame that the three cannot play together as Sho Fukuda mostly plays as a substitute for Luis Phellype.

Predicted Lineup(3-4-2-1): Kamifukumoto, Fujii-Barada-Okuno-Matsumoto, Onose-Hiraoka

Head Coach: Satoshi Yamaguchi

Out: Nil

Yokohama F. Marinos: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: WWLLL

The Yokohama Marinos squad have shown extreme weakness this season, evident in their bottom table placement; off three wins, five stalemates and thirteen defeats in twenty-one games. Last week’s 0-3 loss to Tokyo FC only worsened the dampened morale at home, right after the 0-1 beating against Okayama, a game expected to be an improvement on the prior 1-0 loss to Albirex Niigata.

At this point, almost everyone has beaten the tricolors, which is a bit infuriating for a team that qualified for the AFC Champions League last season. 

After weeks of predicting that former Manager Patrick Kisnorbo will lose his job, new handler Hideo Oshima began on a very poor note against Tokyo FC. He should know better than to expect time from the management who are desperate for a turnaround. Three more losses, and he may find himself on the streets of Japan.

Yokohama F. Marinos: Lineup

Team: Everything screams wrong with the lineup, from the back lines to the front men who are paid to put the ball in the net. All eyes are on the new coach who began on the wrong foot with the fans 

Players: Despite the sophisticated lineup, the Blues occupy the worst seats in the league. They have not scored goals in the last three games, which pretty much produced defeats. Matsubara picked up an injury against Tokyo and may be replaced by Kazuya Yamamura. Daiya Toni who was substituted in the 55th minute as replacement for Amano was injured and also signed out in the eighty ninth minute.

Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): IIkura, Kato-Yamamura-Deng-Watanabe, Kida-Yamame, Matheus- Amano-Elber, Lopes

Head Coach: Hideo Oshima

Out: Matsubara (injury), Daiya Toni

Shonan Bellmare vs Yokohama F. Marinos Match Prediction 28 June 2025

This fixture features two teams who do not deserve to be in the elite league, regularly disappointing their fans both on familiar territory and under strange clouds. Consistent point drops in previous weeks indicate a possible contention for victory here, since they are like two blind men, we will either witness a supply of goals, or a complete drought. Despite Yokohama’s recent flop, they always have a way with Shonan - It’s more like a thing for pride for both sides.

Below are my best predictions:

- My prediction is a BTTS -Yes at a coefficient of 1.61 odds from 1xbet;

- Our betting tip will be the Over 2.5 goal option at 1.70 odds from Betway;

- Lastly, I will pick the Home Win option as my final choice at a coefficient of 2.35 odds from the Bet365 bookmaker.
