Shimizu S Pulse Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the J1 League tournament (home team - Nagoya Grampus, away team - Shimizu S Pulse). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:1.

The hosts come into this match on a run that offers little optimism - the team has gone six home J.League matches without a win. However, that run belongs to last season. In July, Takayuki Yoshida's charges picked up two wins in friendlies - against Polissya and Karlsruhe (both 3-1), and they started the season with an away victory over Nagoya Grampus. They played over half an hour with ten men and won anyway.

Yokohama Marinos Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the J1 League tournament (home team - Yokohama Marinos, away - Kashima Antlers). The match concluded with a scoreline of 3:4.

Kaina Tanimura scored a brace in the first round, and it seemed like Yokohama would comfortably see the game out. However, that was not to be. Steve Corica's side conceded three goals after the 80th minute, denying the Australian manager a happy debut. That said, the opponents were Kashima, the reigning champions, so writing off Marinos after this setback would be premature - even away from home.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Shimizu have not won in six consecutive home league matches and are unlikely to end that run against a difficult opponent they have beaten only once this decade. However, we think the team are capable of scoring and grabbing a point. That is why we are backing both teams to score (yes), predicting a 1:1 scoreline, which has been the result in 3 of Shimizu's last 4 home matches in the J.League.
