This Japanese J1 League matchday 36 fixture will see third-placed Kyoto Sanga host 17th-placed Yokohama F. Marinos on Sunday. Can Sanga strengthen their bid for a top-two finish with a win against Marinos? Check out our prediction for the match below.
Kyoto Sanga fell short of closing the gap to the top two to just two points after they dropped points against table-toppers Kashima Antlers in their last fixture. Forward Yuma Suzuki nets the equalizer for Kashima Antlers deep into stopping time to force the hosts to a dramatic 1-1 draw.
Interestingly, that result saw Kyoto Sanga drop points for the third consecutive J1 League game, all ended with the same scoreline. They remain unbeaten in their last five J1 League matches (W1, D4) and have drawn their last three home matches, all of which ended with under 4.5 goals.
Yokohama F. Marinos defeated Sanfrecce Hiroshima 3-0 in their last match to rack up 37 points and move five points clear of the relegation zone. They have won three of their last four J1 League matches, but have lost four of their most recent five away fixtures. Marinos have also lost their last two matches against Kyoto Sanga, of which ended with under 4.5 goals.
