The matches between Shimizu and Yokohama in recent years have been characterized by low scoring - each of their last five clashes has ended with under 2.5 goals. Both teams are not among the most effective in attack during the season and often resort to a cautious tactic, especially in high-stakes matches.
Shimizu relies on stability at homeThe hosts show more solid performances at their stadium, but rarely engage in open play, especially against their direct competitors at the bottom of the table. Their defense is relatively stable, and goals often lack in their home matches. The guests face serious difficulties in attack, especially away from home, where they often lack sharpness in front of goal. At the same time, they often defend successfully and rarely suffer heavy losses, which further leans the balance towards a low-scoring match.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goalsConsidering the history of the rivalry and the current state of both teams, another dull derby with few goals seems like the most logical outcome.
