Yokohama Mariners performed well as defending champions Kobe Victory Ship on Sunday and ended up with 2 wins. :One was a successful return with all 3 points.
The key to this win was the Mariners' ability to quickly switch sides and attack the opposition, taking full advantage of the team's rather dangerous flanking.
The Kewell-led Mariners will once again be very focused if they want to tear through the organized defense of the Osaka Flyers in this battle. Seeing that, it will be very important to see the performance of Brazilian striker and soul of the team, Andersen Rubis, who is definitely the most indispensable member of the team's front line.
Last Saturday, Osaka Flying Foot visited Hokkaido Sapporo Gonzaga and came back with a small cold loss of 0: and even more surprisingly, the opponent recorded their first win in the league this season.
The biggest problem for the Flying Footers in this loss was that they didn't deal well with the opposition's crosses, and the defense in the box needs to do a better job.
In front of goal, Flying Foot has many good attackers. In this match, I think Ryotaro Gono will be the most threatening player in their lineup. His last match against Hokkaido Sapporo was his first league match of the season, but despite that, he still managed to get away from his opponents with a number of clever disks, which was a very impressive performance.
While the return of Akitaro is the right choice to boost the Osaka Flyers' offense, I think the two sides are still far apart in terms of goal-scoring ability. I expect the stronger Yokohama Mariners to win at home and take 3 points.
