After barely missing promotion for three consecutive seasons, Kofu wants to make their fourth season in the second-tier their last. Starting the campaign phenomenally, with three victories from four games, they are confident about taking down the visiting Machida. Contrary to the hosts, Machida has been suffering for quite some time in the league, but has always somehow escaped relegation. They are happy with their beginning of the season, winning once and sharing points twice so far. However, the eleventh-placed side is currently nowhere near Kofu's level, and has lost in their last three visits against this team.

Akira Ito has done a wonderful job with this team, making them finish fifth and then fourth-placed since he joined the club. Ventforet enjoys a three-game winning streak, and has won its only 2021 home game, a 2-1 duel against Tochigi. Kofu is yet to lose against Machida since the previously-mentioned coach took charge of the club. This season, Kofu left a great first impression. They are the league's second-best defense, with their offense doing a solid job, scoring six and conceding just two goals so far.

Finishing nineteenth-placed last season, the guests do not mind their current eleventh place. Their last visit against Mito ended 3-0 in the opposing side's favor. Popovic's men have scored six goals this season, same as Kofu, but have been performing quite badly defensively. Zeldia conceded seven times in 2021, and are tied for the league's second-worst defense. They are without a victory in their two previous matches, with their only triumph being in the second round against Iwata, a successful 1-3 visit.

As you expect, I believe Kofu will be the ones taking the spoils in the upcoming clash, with Machida returning home empty-handed. Good luck!

在连续三个赛季几乎没有升级之后，甲府希望将结束他们连续四个赛季在意乙征战的经历。他们四场比赛取得了三场胜利，非常有信心击败来访的町田。与主队相反，町田在联赛中苦苦挣扎了很久，并且总能够最终保级。他们对赛季的开始感到满意，迄今为止赢得了一场比赛，并两次打平。目前排名第11，但距离甲府的水平还相差很远，并且在对甲府的最近3次客场都输了。

伊藤明（Akira Ito）在这支球队中的表现非常出色，自加入俱乐部以来，他们最初排名第五，然后排名第四。 球队取得了三连胜，并且赢得了2021年唯一的一场主场比赛，对阵枥木2-1取胜。自从之前提到的教练掌管俱乐部以来，甲府还没有输给町田。这个赛季，甲府留下了很好的印象。他们的防守排名联赛第二，进攻也表现出色，迄今为止打进6球并且仅失2个进球。

町田上赛季排在第19位，目前的第11位完全可以令他们满意。他们最近一次对水户的比赛以0-3结束。波波维奇的球队本赛季与甲府一样打进6球，但防守表现却很差。町田（Zeldia）在2021年有7个失球，防守排名倒数第二差。他们在最近的两场比赛中都没有取得胜利，唯一的胜利是在第二轮对岩田的比赛中，取得了3-1的胜利。

我相信甲府可以在这场比赛中占据优势，町田恐怕将会两手空空。祝好运！
