- Kawasaki Frontale are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions.
- Yokohama FC have scored just 13 goals in 19 league games – the joint-worst record in the division.
- Kawasaki have won 25 of the 29 previous meetings with Yokohama FC.

Yokohama FC enter the match still walking a tightrope in their battle for survival. Sitting 17th with 19 points from 19 games, they’re clinging to safety on goal difference. Their campaign has been inconsistent, though recent form shows some resilience, highlighted by a remarkable 4-0 win over Cerezo Osaka in the J League Cup. Fulie’s biggest concern remains their lack of goals—averaging just 0.8 per game and registering under 2.5 goals in 90% of their matches.
Shuhei Yomoda’s side has managed to avoid defeat in four of their last eight games, but their margin for error remains razor-thin. With only 20% of their matches ending in both teams scoring and none featuring more than 3.5 goals, Yokohama FC are more accustomed to tight, low-scoring affairs. Saturday’s fixture will be a stern test of their newfound momentum against a dominant opponent.
Kawasaki Frontale, meanwhile, arrive in Yokohama riding a strong wave of form. The visitors have gone unbeaten in their last six outings and have collected 29 points from 18 league games. Led by Shigetoshi Hasebe, Kawasaki have rediscovered consistency and remain just five points off the top four with matches in hand. They’ve scored at least twice in their last six matches, showcasing one of the most efficient attacks in the league.
The numbers back Kawasaki’s dominance: they’ve beaten Yokohama FC in six of the last eight meetings and boast a staggering 25 wins in 29 head-to-heads. With a goal average of 2.56 per game and both teams scoring in 78% of their matches, Kawasaki thrive in open, attacking fixtures—making them clear favourites here. While Erison’s injury may limit their cutting edge, their squad depth and tactical discipline should prove decisive. Expect the visitors to continue their unbeaten streak against a struggling Fulie side.
Kawasaki Frontale arrive in strong form, unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions. They’ve also dominated past meetings with Yokohama FC, winning six of their last eight encounters, including a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture. The visitors have suffered just three defeats in 18 league matches, while Yokohama FC have lost 10 of their 19 games and are hovering just above the relegation zone. Even though Fulie showed fight in their 4-0 win over Cerezo Osaka, they’ve been inconsistent, winning just once in their last four league outings. Kawasaki, on the other hand, have found rhythm and confidence under coach Shigetoshi Hasebe, collecting crucial points in their push for a top-four finish. With more quality, deeper squad depth, and strong head-to-head advantage, Kawasaki are unlikely to leave empty-handed. Given all this, the X2 market offers strong value — it’s a smart, lower-risk way to back the visitors’ momentum.
Despite Kawasaki Frontale’s attacking qualities, this fixture may not produce a goal-fest. Yokohama FC average just 1.7 total goals per game, with only 10% of their matches going over 2.5 goals and 0% hitting over 3.5 goals. Their home matches tend to be more cautious, and they’ll likely set up defensively against a stronger side. Kawasaki average 2.56 goals per match — enough to grind results but not to create high-scoring spectacles regularly. Given Fulie’s struggles in front of goal (just 13 goals in 19 games), a 1-1 or 2-0 type scoreline looks more likely. Historically, recent meetings have trended toward tighter margins when Yokohama host. The visitors may rotate slightly due to midweek cup action, which could further affect attacking sharpness. As such, the Under 3.5 Goals line offers excellent value, especially in a game where one team will likely defend deep to scrape a point.
