Yokohama will invite Kawasaki Frontale to the NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium in the J1 League on Saturday. The hosts have five wins from 19 league games while Frontale have seven wins and are seventh in the standings with 29 points.
Fulie have won just one of their last four league games. They returned to winning ways after two consecutive losses last week, recording a 4-0 home win over Cerezo Osaka in the second leg of the J League Cup playoffs. Notably, they overturned a three-goal deficit from the first leg and secured a place in the next round 5-4 on aggregate.
The visitors are currently on a six-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. They defeated Sanfrecce Hiroshima 2-1 in their previous league outing in May. They met Fukushima United in the second round of the Emperor's Cup on Wednesday and registered a 4-3 win.
Fulie have won just one of their three games in June, with that triumph registered at home last week. They have won just one of their last 15 games in this fixture while suffering 14 losses, which is a cause for concern.
Azzurro Nero are unbeaten in their last five league games, recording three wins. Notably, they have scored two goals apiece in these games and will look to continue their prolific run here.
Considering the current form of the two teams and recent history, we back the visitors to eke out a narrow win.
