Yokohama F Marinos v Sagan Tosu

Yokohama F. Marinos vs Sagan Tosu Preview

Yokohama F. Marinos slipped to a second defeat on the trot in the Japanese top flight on the weekend when they suffered a 2-1 loss at home to fellow mid-table outfit Tokyo Verdy, while Sagan Tosu also tasted defeat on home soil on the weekend but in a more comprehensive manner, losing 4-1 at the hands of Kashiwa Reysol which means the visitors still remain in the bottom three places towards the bottom of the J-League table.

Yokohama F. Marinos at least hold home advantage once again on Wednesday night though and therefore have another chance to redeem themselves after also being handed a 2-1 loss on the road at Avispa Fukuoka in the game beforehand, while the bigger picture shows Harry Kewell's side have managed to capture just three wins in their last 13 league matches.

Within this ordinary looking period of results, Yokohama F. Marinos have also been dealt six defeats in the process, but results on home soil at their Nissan Stadium at least look fairly promising as the hosts have lost just three of their previous 12 home games along with collecting five wins as well.

Sagan Tosu still remain sitting in the relegation zone in the Japanese top flight table following a disappointing 4-1 rout at home to Kashiwa Reysol, making it back-to-back losses for the visitors after they'd previously stumbled to a 1-0 defeat on the road at Cerezo Osaka.

The visitors will make their way to the Nissan Stadium on the back of five defeats in six games overall in the J-League having slipped to losses to the likes of Nagoya Grampus, FC Tokyo, Avispa Fukuoka, Cerezo Osaka and Kashiwa Reysol which have outweighed Sagan Tosu's modes success in these last six games which came in the form of a 3-0 home win against fellow strugglers, Kyoto Sanga.

The bigger picture shows Sagan Tosu have managed to achieve just five wins within their total of 20 matches played to date this season, four of which have been registered on home soil at their Ekimae Real Estate Stadium but this means results away from home have been poor by comparison.

Indeed, Sagan Tosu have managed to capture just the single win on their travels during this season's J-League campaign to date which came in the form of a resounding 3-0 victory at Jubilo Iwata but also includes being dealt no fewer than seven defeats in the process as well.
