Yokohama Marinos vs Ritsumeikan University
This weekend Ritsumeikan University will make a historic visit to Nippatsu Mitsuzawa Stadium. The first visit came from the drawing of the second round of the Japanese Cup where they will compete with Yokohama FC Marinos on Wednesday (3/7).
Ritsumeikan University managed to qualify for this phase after the first round managed to steal 1-2 positions from Nara Club. The author did not find another report card besides the match because this team did play in the lower division.
Meanwhile, Yokohama FC Marinos just received a disaster last weekend when they were beaten by FC Tokyo. The host did appear smarter with 6 shots on target of 26% possession and managed to excel with a score of 4-2. With that result, they were even stronger at the top of the Japanese League, while the visitors were held in rank 3.
The defeat will be used by Yokohama FC Marinos as a whistle to win tomorrow’s match. After all, they still have a very impressive record as hosts with 5 consecutive wins since April. During this period they have also scored 12 goals, 3 clean sheets, and only conceded 2 times. We are waiting for whether Ritsumeikan University can hold the pace of the host with that record.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.56
