On Saturday, a match is set to take place between Iwaki and Yokohama FC within the second division of the J2 League in Japan.
Iwaki continues its campaign in the J2 League and on June 26, they faced a stiff challenge against the current tournament leaders V-Varen Nagasaki. The match ended with a scoreline of 3:1 in favour of V-Varen. As of now, Iwaki holds 8th place in the 2024 J2 League standings.
The team has played 21 matches, recording 8 victories, suffering 6 defeats, and drawing 7 games. They have amassed 31 points with a goal balance of 31:19. In their last 5 matches, they achieved 2 wins and 1 draw, including a Cup victory over Blaublitz.
Yokohama FC, in their last match against Roasso Kumamoto on June 22, clinched a monumental 5:0 victory at home, showcasing why they are currently second in the J2 League. Following this game, Yokohama FC continuously secures the second spot in the J2 League table, with 43 points from 21 matches.
Notably, their form in recent games is impressive—5 consecutive wins with just 2 goals conceded. Roasso Kumamoto, positioned at 18th with 21 points, is experiencing tough times. Losing 10 out of 21 matches, the team obviously needs significant changes and reinforcements to climb higher in the standings.
I anticipate a sixth consecutive victory for Yokohama FC in the match against the inconsistent Iwaki. The visitors advanced further in the Vanraure Cup on penalties and are vying for promotion to J1 League.
