Kashiwa Reysol managed to retain their spot in the J1 League by narrowly avoiding relegation zone last season. This season, they find themselves flirting with relegation once again, maintaining a three-point cushion above the final relegation spot. 

Their position in the standings is nothing less than a reflection of their poor form in the league. Reysol have not tasted victory in their last five games since a 2-1 victory over Shonan Bellmare on August 17th, not to mention their profligacy in front of goal, failing to score in four of those games. In their most recent match, they held Cerezo Osaka to a goalless draw away from home, extending their draw streak to two matches.

Sitting in mid-table is Yokohama F. Marinos, who have had a disappointing campaign this season despite having aspirations of finishing in the top-three. They are 18 points behind third-placed Machida Zelvia, who occupy the final AFC Champions League qualifier spot. 

It has been a challenging period for the Marinos, who after a 3-1 home defeat against FC Tokyo over the weekend have now seen their losing run in the league stretched to three games. However, they did manage to boost their confidence during the week by defeating Ulsan HD 4-0 in the AFC Champions League and will want to build on this momentum.

• Kashiwa Reysol have won one of their last nine games in the J1 League.
• Yokohama F. Marinos are currently on a three-game losing run in the J1 League.
• Kashiwa Reysol averages 1.07 goals per game when playing at home, and Yokohama F. Marinos averages 1.6 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 47 meetings, Kashiwa Reysol has won 20 times, Yokohama F. Marinos has won 16 times, and there have been 11 draws, with the goal difference being 66-62 in favor of Kashiwa Reysol. 

Kashiwa Reysol have been in poor form in the league, where they are currently winless in their last five games. Their profligacy in front of goal has been their downfall, failing to score in four of those games, and a similar display can be expected in this upcoming encounter despite holding the favorites tag.

Yokohama F. Marinos should be in high spirits following their win over Ulsan HD in the AFC Champions League. They have lost their last two consecutive away matches in this fixture and will be hoping to get back to winning ways. 

The away side boasts a superior squad at their disposal and have performed much better than Kashiwa Reysol in the league, which is why we anticipate supporting them in the double chance market not to lose.
