Yokohama F Marinos vs Kashiwa Reysol Prediction and Betting Tips | September 3rd 2025

Kashiwa Reysol return to action in the J League Cup when they take on Yokohama F Marinos in the first leg of the quarter-finals at the Nissan Stadium on Wednesday. This will be the first cup meeting between the two teams since October 2020, when Ricardo Rodriguez’s men picked up a 1-0 victory in their semi-final clash.

Yokohama F Marinos were made to rue their wasteful display in front of goal last Saturday when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Vissel Kobe in their J1 League matchup.

Before that, Hideo Oshima’s side were unbeaten in five of their six league matches, picking up three wins and two draws while scoring seven goals and keeping three clean sheets in that time.

Having reached the J. League Cup semi-finals last season, Yokohama F Marinos will look to return to winning ways on Wednesday as they get underway in the 2025 cup campaign.

Kashiwa Reysol, on the other hand, have enjoyed a stellar cup run so far, knocking out Namazu, Fukushima United, Yamaguchi and Tokyo Verdy to reach the quarter-finals.

Rodriguez’s men head into Wednesday’s crunch tie fresh off the back of a 2-1 victory over Avispa Fukuoka in the J1 League on Sunday.

Kashiwa, who have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, currently sit second in the league standings with 53 points from 28 games, one point off first-placed Kyoto Sanga.
