The Kobe Victory ship recorded its first defeat in the last seven league matches after losing 1-2 to Kawasaki Frontale in the Japanese game on Saturday, dropping to 12th place in the league standings.
Victory ship lost a 12-yard goal needlessly at the end of the game and finally lost. The loss is definitely disappointing, but I believe the team is pleased that they were able to deliver a good performance against a high quality opponent like Kawasaki Frontale.
Ennistar came back from injury last week and made his debut. His return to the pitch will undoubtedly strengthen Victory Boat's midfield, but he has yet to regain 100% of his game form, so the team can't expect too much from him in this match.
Yokohama Mariners recorded their first win in the last 3 league matches after thrashing Urawa Red Diamonds 4-1 last week, in other words, they can become this season's champions as long as they don't go back undefeated this time.
In fact, the Mariners do have a good chance of winning the title again in 2019, which undoubtedly creates a strong impetus for the players, but the impetus is also a double-edged sword, to a certain extent, it also creates a certain degree of pressure, the midfielder Takuya Kida must once again deliver a good performance, to help the team to achieve a balance between attack and defense in order to achieve the goal.
