Goal Statistics

Machida Zelvia's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday morning, not least because Yokohama F. Marinos have conceded in each of their last 9 J-League games. A PG of 1.5 for G. Kuroda's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been an issue for Yokohama F. Marinos of late. It has been 6 J-League matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday morning against Machida Zelvia.
