Yokohama FC vs FC Tokyo Prediction & Betting Tips (21 October)

Yokohama FC last graced the top-flight, ending that campaign by losing eight of their last 15 matches of the regular season, so a return to this level could represent a significant step up in class. FC Tokyo are probably not the opponents that they would have chosen to face, with Yokohama FC boasting eight wins from ten games of late.

Under 2.5 goals has been the order of the day in 15 of the previous 15 Yokohama FC home matches in the J1 League, including in nine games on the bounce of late. Although they cannot compete with these numbers, it remains the case that 15 of the most recent 20 FC Tokyo fixtures at this level have also served up two goals or fewer, so expect more of the same.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 15 of the previous 18 league games involving FC Tokyo, and both of their meetings with Yokohama FC last season finished goalless. Speaking of the hosts, eight of their most recent 15 home matches have followed the same pattern, so anyone expecting a thriller is likely to be disappointed by this contest.
