Kyoto Sanga host Yokohama FC at the Sanga Stadium on Saturday (June 24) in the J1 League.
The hosts have endured a torrid run of results recently to slip down the standings. Kyoto returned to winning ways in the league last time out with a 3-1 win over newly promoted Albirex Niigata before losing 3-1 to Tokyo in the J League Cup group stage last weekend. Kyoto are 14th in the standings with 16 points.
Yokohama, meanwhile, have not fared much better in the J1 League despite positive results in the domestic cup. They held Urawa Red Diamonds to a goalless draw in their last league outing, profiting from the profligacy of their opponents.
Trending
The visitors are 16th in the points table with just 13 points from 17 games. They are just one point above last-placed Kashiwa Reysol and will be desperate to widen that gap.
