Matchday 21 in the J1 League sees Yokohama FC play host to Sanfrecce Hiroshima at MNHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium. Yokohama are in 19th place in the league standings, while Sanfrecce are in fifth. Here's our match prediction.
Yokohama FC are second to bottom in the J1 League standings within the relegation zone. They are one point behind safety and three points behind 16th-placed Shonan Bellmare.
Fulie managed to get a positive result in their most recent match against Grulla Morioka in the second round of the Emperor's Cup. Two second-half goals and a Hinata Ogura winner in the dying embers of the game were enough to see them secure a 2-1 home win.
That triumph was consolation for their prior 1-0 home league defeat against Kawasaki Frontale, extending their winless run to three games.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima, on the other hand, have their sights set on top three in the league standings. They trail third-placed Kyoto Sanga by just one measly point.
Last time out, Sanfrecce salvaged a point against Kashima Antlers in the league after settling for a 1-1 draw. However, that result was nothing but a heartbreak, considering they were pegged back in the second half stoppage time.
After losing two straight, Hiroshima are enjoying a great run of results as they are unbeaten in their last three outings across all competitions (W2, D1).
