Iwata vs Yokohama F. Marinos Prediction & Betting Tips (16 November)

Iwata have not had too much luck against Yokohama F. Marinos of late, with the Iwata emerging victorious from just very few of the last 15 competitive meetings between the two sides. Unfortunately for the Yokohama F. Marinos outfit, come into this contest in fantastic form, with their coach charges boasting eight wins from ten games recently.

Under 3.5 goals has been the order of the day in Iwata home games in the J1 League recently, with 17 of the previous 20, including nine on the bounce of late, subscribing to this particular scoring model. What’s more, eight of the last nine Yokohama F. Marinos away matches at this level have followed the same pattern, so three goals or fewer are expected when the sides meet.

It would be fair to say that Iwata have not been the most exciting team to watch recently, with only three of their last 12 J1 League matches producing goals at both ends. Given that ten of the previous 12 Yokohama F. Marinos away games at this level have also seen at least one of the two keepers emerging with a clean sheet, do not expect both teams to find the net.
