Current form
Yokohama Marinos managed to find their form and started to climb up the league table. The team currently occupies sixth place and is seven points behind fourth place. If the team had acted like this from the very beginning, it would have been possible to fight for the top three. However, there is still an opportunity to fight for trophies in cup competitions. In the 1/8 of the Emperor's Cup, the visitors beat a representative of the second league, V-Varen Nagasaki (3:2). In the first match of the quarterfinals of the League Cup, they managed to crush today's opponent with a score of 6:1.

3.05Tip and bets
The hosts are unlikely to advance to the next round, but with their fans present, the team will certainly try to at least not lose to their opponent after a crushing defeat away from home. Sapporo have looked good in recent matches and may well not lose to Yokohama in a home match.
Our prediction is Sapporo will not lose at 1.87
Bet on total
The visitors have already gained the advantage in the first match and are unlikely to be too zealous in attack in the second match. Most likely, the club from Yokohama will play in a defensive style and will hold back the opponent's attacks. This should lead to a low-scoring match.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.95
Bet on corners
We think that the teams will mainly attack positionally, so we are unlikely to see many corners in this match.
Our prediction is total under 10.5 corners with odds of 1.70
