Fagiano Okayama will be hosting Machida Zelvia in the twelfth round of the Japanese second division. The hosts continue their two-game winning streak, coming from a 0-1 triumph over Blaublitz. On the other side, the guests are coming from a 0-2 loss against the fifteenth-placed Yamaguchi, after barely defeating relegation-fighting Omiya in a 0-1 duel. Only once in history has Machida defeated Okayama here, with the hosts taking points in six of the two sides' seven meetings here. The last game between these two ended 1-0 in Okayama's favor, with both having two victories in their previous five meetings, with one draw also occurring.

Injuries have not stopped Okayama from performing well so far, after a seventeenth-placed finish last season. The hosts are currently ninth, and are tied for the league's best defense with first-placed Niigata and second-placed Ryukyu. For this game, Okayama is without Sekido, Tanaka, Matsuki, Hiroki, Paulinho, and Saito, who have already missed most of the games this year. Kenji Arima's team has conceded just seven goals in eleven games, but have missed points due to poor attacking, finding the net eight times so far. However, their offensive performances are becoming better and better, with Okayama scoring a goal in four of their last five matches.

Being only two points ahead of their upcoming opponent, Machida is in danger of dropping down the ladder if they fail to deliver once again. Ranko Popovic's men are good on the road this season, winning four and losing just one game away from home. The guests are showing signs of slowing down after a solid beginning of the season. Their top scorer, Yuki Nakashima, scored just once in his last six appearances, and if the experienced striker fails to deliver against Okayama, it will just lower Machida's chances of winning even more.

I expect the hosts to be a better side, and can see them taking at least a point. Good luck!

冈山将在日本乙级联赛的第十二轮比赛中迎战町田泽尔维亚。东道主继续他们的两连胜，从0-1战胜Blaublitz。另一方面，在与排名第15位的山口队(Yamaguchi)的一场对决中，他们以0比1勉强击败了保级队大宫队(Omiya)。历史上只有一次，町田在这里击败冈山，东道主在双方在这里举行的七次会议中获得了六次积分。在上一场比赛中，双方以1-0的比分战胜冈山，在之前的五场比赛中，双方都取得了两场胜利，还有一场平局。

伤病并没有阻止冈山队表现良好，上个赛季冈山队只排在第十七名。东道主目前排名第九，与第一名新泻(Niigata)和第二名琉球(Ryukyu)并列联盟最佳防守。在这次比赛中，冈山没有濑户、田中、松木、弘木、保利尼奥和齐藤，他们已经错过了今年的大部分比赛。有ima贤治的球队在11场比赛中只丢了7个球，但由于糟糕的进攻而失分，到目前为止已经有8次进球。然而，他们的进攻表现越来越好，冈山在最近五场比赛中有四场进球。

因为只比他们的对手领先两分，如果他们再次失败，町田就有从梯子上掉下来的危险。波波维奇的球队本赛季在客场表现不错，赢了四场，只输了一场。在旺季开始后，客人们表现出了放缓的迹象。他们的头号射手中岛由纪(Yuki Nakashima)在过去六场比赛中只进了一球，如果这位经验丰富的前锋在对阵冈山的比赛中未能进球，那将会降低町田胜场的机会。

我希望主队能表现得更好，至少能拿一分。
