Yokohama F. Marinos will host Kashiwa Reysol at the Nissan Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2023 J1 League campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a solid league campaign and will fancy themselves title contenders as they head into the second half of the season. They picked up a 3-2 victory over 10-man FC Tokyo in their last league outing before beating fourth-tier outfit Briobecca Urayasu 2-0 in the Emperor Cup on Wednesday.
Yokohama FM sit second in the J1 League standings with 33 points picked up so far and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this Saturday.
Kashiwa, meanwhile, have endured a rather torrid league season so far and find themselves deep in the bottom half of the table. They were beaten 5-4 by Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo in a dramatic league clash at the Sankyo Frontier Kashiwa Stadium last weekend.
The visitors sit 17th in the table with 12 points from 16 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
