Yokohama FC: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LLWLW

The Fulies found favour with Lady Luck in their league game against Shonan Bellmare last week, brushing over three points through a narrow 1-0 win secured in the twenty sixth minute of the game. The game, which pretty much went the way of the opposition, did not produce as many goals as expected; despite the numerous chances created by the challengers.

Yokohama have had a terrible spell in the last eight league games, with two wins, two draws and four losses. 

Their last three games at the NHK Spring Stadium produced one win, one loss and a stalemate. Concerning goal-scoring, they currently lag behind by six goals, having conceded seventeen goals in seventeen games while only scoring eleven. 

Their below-par performance currently sees them in the seventeenth league spot, one point ahead of Nagoya, the first of the relegation-threatened squads.

Yokohama FC: Lineup

Team: Last week, the team pulled a performance rated average by most pundits. With the defenders performing better than the strikers, Coach Yamaguchinis inclined to push his attackers towards better play, as attack is usually the best form of defence.

Players: Lukian poached a goal last week from a premeditated spillage from the opposing defences. The only problem with their style of play last week is that it may fail terribly against Kashiaa, who are accustomed to long balls into the box. Suzuki and Arai must be vigilant to also dummy run, if Lukian will get the space required to score against the Yellow Blacks.

 Predicted Lineup(3-4-2-1): Ichikawa, Yamazaki-Nduka-Fukumori, Murata-Lara-Yamada-Shimbo, Suzuki-Arai, Lukian

 Head Coach: Shuhei Yomoda

⛔ Out: Nil

 The Hitachi Sun Kings, who, up to last week thought they were safe enough for cruise control in the league were rudely awakened in the 3-0 embarrassment against Machida Zelvia, marking their second league loss in seventeen games. Ricardo Rodriguez found his tactical approach crumble before the challengers who proposed ways to effectively nullify Kashiwa’s strategies.

The Yellow-Blacks can take some consolation from their solid form on the road, which has seen them compile five wins, one stalemate and one loss in the last seven exhibitions on the roads, and under strange clouds.

The loss saw them fall behind the league leaders Kashima Antlers by four point, and also abridged the gap to two points from close chasers Kyoto Sanga.

Kashiwa Reysol: Lineup

Team: The loss against Kashima Antlers was rooted to be from the attack of the weakest link, the DMF. With the majority of the team poised towards attack, the formation lacked enough consolidation of the bridge between Attack and last lines of defence the DMF, who gave the ball away, causing multiple counter situations.

Players: Kumasaka was horrible last week and while it remains shocking that he is once again selected today, he failed to effectively hold his ground as the first line of resistance against Machida. He was easily outplayed on numerous occasions. Also, Mao Hosoya contributed little to change things for his side. Diego also produce little to significantly improve their performance.

Yokohama FC vs Kashiwa Reysol Match Prediction 25 MAY 2025

Despite the flop last week by the guests, pairing them equally against Yokohama FC tactically is a gross mistake, as they have hungrier players with better tactical displays. The visitors also are highly motivated to comeback from the embarrassment last week. It will not be strange to see some new tricks from the visitors who we know to always have something up their sleeves when their placement feels threatened.

Below are my best predictions:

My prediction is a win for the visitors at a coefficient of 2.42 odds from 1xbet;

Our betting tip will be the BTTS-NO option at 1.66 odds from Bet365;

Lastly, I will pick the Under 1.5 goal option as my final choice at the coefficient of 2.42 odds from the Betway bookmaker.
