Promotion withouth needing to go to playoffs is the goal of Yokohama FC for this season and with this in mind they will go on the road to face V-Varen Nagasaki in a round 38 game of the Japanese J2 League. Well settled in the second place, they will try to grab another three points to continue up in the standings. For this game, we suggest an away win or draw.

Yokohama FC has been really solid all season long, proving to be a real contender for one of the promotion spots. With only five rounds to go, they are very near to secure the second spot, but in order to do that they still have to grab some wins in order to make the difference with the third unreachable. So longo, their run is going good, as they have only lost one of their last five games (two wins and two draws in the remaining).

A guarantee for Yokohama are the goals of Koki Ogawa. The striker has been on fire this tournament, of which he is the top scorer with 21 goals, five more than the second. In addition, he has also given four assits, to be one of the stars of the team in their quest for promotion. In this game, he will look to make his contribution against a rival they have defeated in three of their last five head to heads (one loss and a draw in the remaining).

On the other hand, V-varen Nagasaki has been very irregular lately, winning only one of their last five games (two draws and two defeats). Playing at home, the statistic is even worse, as they are on a seven game winless run (five draws and two losses). They still have chances to make it to the promotion playoffs, but they will need to improve a lot in order to get there.

不需要进入季后赛的晋级是横滨FC本赛季的目标，带着这个目标，他们将在日本J2联赛第38轮迎战V-Varen长崎。在积分榜第二的位置安顿下来后，他们将努力再抢三分，以保持积分榜的领先。对于这场比赛，我们建议客场取胜或打平。

横滨FC整个赛季都很稳定，证明了他们是晋级名额的真正竞争者。在只剩下5轮比赛的情况下，他们已经非常接近第二名的位置了，但为了做到这一点，他们仍然需要赢得一些胜利，以使第三名的位置变得不同。所以很长一段时间以来，他们的表现很好，因为他们在最近的五场比赛中只输了一场(剩下的两胜两平)。

保证横滨的是小川的进球。这位前锋在本届比赛中表现出色，他以21球成为射手榜冠军，比第二名多了5球。此外，他还提供了四次助攻，成为球队寻求升级的明星之一。在这场比赛中，他将寻求对对手做出自己的贡献，他们在过去的5场比赛中有3次正面交锋(1负1平)。

另一方面，长崎V-varen最近表现非常不稳定，他们最近5场比赛只赢了一场(2平2负)。在主场的比赛中，数据更糟糕，因为他们已经连续7场未胜(5平2负)。他们仍然有机会进入升级季后赛，但他们需要提高很多才能进入那里。
