Match Preview
The hosts, Yokohama F. Marinos, are one of Japan's strongest clubs, boasting numerous titles. They claimed the national championship in 2019 and 2022, and finished as runners-up in the 2023 season, just seven points behind Vissel Kobe. Their second-place finish earned them a spot in the Asian Champions League, where they made it to the final but suffered a dramatic 5-1 defeat to Al-Ain from the UAE. Due to their participation in this tournament, Yokohama has played two fewer matches than the rest of the league. Today, they face a team currently making a fairytale run in the J-League.

Machida Zelvia, a club from the small town of Machida, earned promotion to the top division last season. Experts had predicted a tough fight for survival for this modest team, but they have defied all expectations. With three rounds left in the first half of the championship, they sit at the top of the table with 35 points. Known for their vibrant, attacking style, they have already scored 28 goals in 17 league matches while conceding only 15. Despite their current success, this is Machida Zelvia's first stint in Japan's top division. The big question now is whether they have the stamina to maintain this level throughout the entire championship. We'll find out the answer in December.
