Yokohama F.Marinos welcome Shimizu S-Pulse at Nissan Stadium, Tōkyō (Tokyo) on Saturday, May 22 at 12:00 PM in a J1 League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Yokohama F.Marinos come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Shimizu S-Pulse travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Yokohama F.Marinos here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Shimizu S-Pulse, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Shimizu S-Pulse won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Yokohama F.Marinos a slight edge, but Shimizu S-Pulse are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
