Yokohama F. Marinos vs Shandong Taishan Prediction & Betting Tips (13 March)

A disappointing run of six defeats in eight trips suggests that Shandong Taishan are not the best of travellers, with a total of 16 goals being conceded across these losses. That must be music to the ears of a Yokohama F. Marinos outfit that has been cooking with some serious gas recently, as the title-chasers have netted 20 times on the way to securing 18 points from a possible 21.

Shandong Taishan have been delivering plenty of entertainment recently, with each of their previous five games at the top table of the AFC Champions League producing a minimum of three goals. This has also been the case in six of the seven matches played by Yokohama F. Marinos at this level during the current campaign, so it would come as a surprise to see two goals or fewer when the sides lock horns.

One area in which Yokohama F. Marinos have proven incredibly consistent in the AFC Champions League competition recently is in their involvement in matches in which both teams find the net, with this being the case in 10 of their previous 12 encounters. What’s more, Shandong Taishan have scored in all nine of their continental clashes this season, and they have to chase the game.
