Head-to-Head
This derby has split the two sides in their past two clashes, with Yokohama FC edging a 1-0 win away from home in J League 2025 but having not beaten Shonan at their own ground recently, making the Yokohama FC vs Shonan Bellmare prediction an interesting challenge for punters.
Key Players
- But the team are still goal-shy, with Lukian providing their biggest threat up front with four goals in 30 appearances.
- Midfield engine Shuto Machino is a key cog in their play, providing a link between defence and attack while also maintaining the press.
- Shonan Bellmare’s danger man is Akito Suzuki, who has scored six goals in 30 league appearances, three in his last five, and could be their best hope of breaching a solid defence.
Betting Insights
- The odds for a Yokohama FC win look slightly high for a bottom-half clash (+117), with the draw at +225 and Shonan Bellmare’s underdog odds also attractive; this is one of the main reasons for our Yokohama FC vs Shonan Bellmare betting tips.
- Under 2.5 goals at -147 seems a good bet, as both are struggling up top and the contest could be tight.
Prediction
With Yokohama FC on a mini-streak of two straight home wins and Shonan Bellmare having lost their last three away games , it seems logical to take the hosts to keep their mini-streak alive.
