Yokohama FC

Head-to-Head
- Toyama coach Ryo Adachi, appointed on 28 May 2025, and Yokohama FC coach Daisuke Sudo, who took over on 2 January 2026, are both performing well and it's going to be a tight contest at the top-end of the division.
- Kataller Toyama, in second place, have 13 points from seven games, the same as Yokohama FC in third, but Adachi's men are ahead on positions.
- Toyama are a compact 3-4-2-1 unit who are set up to counter attack and can be tough to beat.
- Sudo's team are a little more proactive in a 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-1-2 system, but they can also play through balls and set up play in wide areas.
- Sudo's side are much more of an attacking side with a higher tempo and intense pressing.
- A close chess game is likely to ensue, but once Yokohama FC push forward and try to create space to play into, then Kataller will have chances in transition.
Key Players
- Adachi has a reliable finisher in Tae-Won Kim, who is top-scorer with three goals in seven games.
- Sudo has a similar option in Adailton, who has bagged three goals in six games.
