Match Preview
Shimizu S-Pulse will host Yokohama at Iwagin Stadium on Sunday, 20 July, in a clash that promises to be pivotal for both teams as they seek to improve their J-League standings. Shimizu's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five matches (DLDWL), while Yokohama has struggled significantly, managing just one draw and four losses in the same period (LWLLL). This disparity in form could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match.
Historically, Shimizu has had the upper hand in their encounters, winning three of the last ten meetings, while Yokohama has secured two victories. However, the last few matches have shown a tendency for both teams to find the net, with five of the last ten head-to-heads resulting in both teams scoring. Given the odds of 2.05 for BTTS and Shimizu's home advantage, this match could see goals from both sides, making the BTTS market an attractive option for punters.
