The leader in the J1 league table, Yokohama, welcomes the last placed, and possibly the worst team in the championship, Shonan, on its home field. In the last round, Yokohama successfully proved the bookies wrong when they were underdogs against Hiroshima and achieved a 1-0 victory away from home. In this way, they continued their excellent series of results in the domestic championship and are now in a series of 5 victories. They are deservedly on the first place in the table, because in my opinion they play the best football, with a large number of created chances in front of the opponent's goal. They manage to use a large number of those created chances, as evidenced by the 16 goals scored in the last 5 matches in the league. They have a large number of quality domestic players in the middle of the field, but their Brazilian attacking trio of Elber, Yan and Anderson Lopes, with the support of the experienced Brazilian Vieira who scored 6 goals, certainly makes a difference. Of the 38 goals scored by Yokohama so far, these players have been involved in more than half, either with goals or assists. They scored 27 goals and recorded 14 assists, which speaks volumes about the quality that Yokohama has in attack. If they have their day, Shonan, which has the worst defense in the league, can experience a real result disaster.

As for Shonan, in the previous round they experienced a defeat again, which was really expected, against Urawa by 4-1. In this way, they further extended the series of bad results and judging by the game they are showing, it is hard to see the end of their problems. They achieved their last victory in the league at the beginning of April, and since then they have played 12 more games and achieved 4 draws with 8 losses. After 18 games they have only 2 wins and they will need some kind of miracle to survive in the league. Away from home, they play very poorly and in the last 4 matches they have as many defeats with only 1 goal scored. The way and form in which Yokohama has been playing lately simply indicates that they are huge favorites in this match and I really believe that the home team can win all 3 points in this match without any major problems.

J1排名榜上的领头羊横滨，在自己的主场欢迎最后一名，也可能是锦标赛中表现最差的球队——湘南。在上一轮比赛中，横滨队成功地证明了博彩公司的错误，他们在客场1-0战胜了广岛队。就这样，他们延续了在国内联赛中连续取得的优异成绩，目前已经取得了5连胜。他们当之无愧地排在积分榜的首位，因为在我看来，他们踢得最好，在对手门前创造了大量的机会。他们设法利用了大量创造出来的机会，最近5场联赛打进16球就是明证。他们在中场拥有大量优秀的国内球员，但他们的巴西进攻三人组埃尔伯、扬和安德森·洛佩斯，再加上经验丰富的巴西人维埃拉打进6球，肯定会有所不同。在横滨队迄今为止打进的38个进球中，这些球员参与了一半以上的进球或助攻。他们打进27球，送出14次助攻，充分说明了横滨在进攻端的实力。如果他们有自己的一天，那么拥有联盟最差防守的雄南队可能会经历一场真正的结果灾难。

至于湘南队，在上一轮比赛中，他们再次以4:1输给浦和队，这是意料之中的。就这样，他们进一步延长了一系列糟糕的结果，从他们现在的表现来看，很难看到他们的问题结束。他们在4月初取得了联赛的最后一场胜利，从那以后他们又打了12场比赛，取得了4平8负的成绩。18场比赛过后，他们只赢了2场，他们需要一些奇迹才能在联赛中生存下来。在客场，他们踢得很糟糕，在过去的4场比赛中，他们输了同样多的比赛，只进了1球。从横滨最近的表现和状态来看，他们是这场比赛的大热门，我真的相信主队在这场比赛中可以毫无问题地赢得全部3分。
