The Tokyo Greens continue to struggle over their league games, with a streak of mediocre showings settling then in the fourteenth spot. After a narrow 1-nil victory against Kawasaki Frontale, the Greens settled to share spoils against Nagoya Grampus at the Toyota Stadium.
With two wins and a loss at home, Tokyo Verdy, who have barely scored goals at home, have somehow managed to keep appearances in front of their fans, who are hopeful for a floater against Machida Zelvia.
The Ajinomoto Greens have accrued two stalemates, two losses and one win in five recent league games.
🏁 Tokyo Verdy: Lineup
Team: Having defeated previous J1League relegation candidates Sagan Tosu in the Emperor Cup, the team camp is confident of a decent exhibition against Machida zelvia, despite being tipped the underdog.
Players: Rei Hirakawa was the best player in last week’s game against Nagoya Grampus, with his passes slicing through the opposition - although they were not put to good use by the receivers. He is most likely to be the engine of the midfield against Machida, who are extremely unforgiving when offered a loose pass.
🔖Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Vidotto, Taniguchi-Tsunashima-Miyahara, Fukazawa-Hirakawa-Morita-Onaga, Saito-Kawasaki, Someno.
👤 Head Coach: Hiroshi Jofuku
⛔ Out: Nil

Last Five Matches: LWWWW
Over the last seven games,Machida Zelvia have gradually become a terror for their opposing challengers, who have met loss as proceeds from underestimation.
Currently the fourth-highest scoring team in the league, the sudden victory rush has prompted a spot in the best seven seats. Over the last seven league games, Machida has beaten two of the best teams in the league, Kashima Antlers and Kashiwa Reysol.
They are arguably one of the teams with the best away records, perpetually scoring two goals in the most recent away games [4-0 v Niigata; 2-1 v Shonan; 2-2 v Okayama Fagiano].
🏁 Machida Zelvia : Lineup
Team: This set of giant killers have demonstrated a level of resilience that have begun to turn heads towards their direction. Machida looks to make it a perfect five, and they would do more than required to break the record this season.
Player: Yuki Soma, and Ryuho Kikuchi are two of the players with blazing form at the moment. Currently, everyone does their job excellently, and while the fans and management seem happy, they must be careful of underestimation, or overconfidence.
🔖 Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Tani, Okamura-Kikuchi-Shoji, Mochizuki-Mae-Shimoda-Hayashi, Nishimura-Soma, Fujio.
👤 Head Coach: Go Kuroda
⛔ Out: None

🎯 Tokyo Verdy vs Machida Zelvia Match Prediction 20 July 2025
The last two meetings for Machida and Tokyo Verdy barely produced goals, with either side haggling 1-0 scorelines. However, with what we have seen in recent games, we don't think Tokyo has much to stop Machida’s exploits.
Below are my best predictions:
🔥 My prediction is a Away Over 1-5 goals at a coefficient of 2.37 odds from 1xbet. This is because Machida will attempt to dominate the two halves. The first ten minutes of this game is paramount for the two sides, as Machida will do everything to establish an early dominance.
🔥 Our betting tip will be the BTTS-NO at 1.60 odds from Betway; This option is due to the fact that Tokyo Verdy will spend most of their resources trying to contain Machida’s affront. I can't see them registering a goal against the guests.
🔥 Lastly, I will pick a win for Machida Zelvia as my final choice at the coefficient of 1.95 odds from the Bet365 bookmaker. Coach Kuroda has done a fine job with his boys. What better way would be a way to show he owns the dressing room than a victory?
