Having finished at the top of the J-League last season, Yokohama Marinos are looking strong to defend their title this year. With five consecutive league wins under their belt, they currently sit 3 points clear at the top of the table, ahead of 2nd placed Vissel Kobe.Managed by former Wolves midfielder Kevin Muscat, who has quickly become a fan favorite in Yokohama, Marinos have already claimed the Japanese Super Cup earlier this year. Muscat's track record, including two titles with Melbourne Victory, speaks for itself, and he will be expecting his team to comfortably overcome Shonan Bellmare, who have struggled this season. Shonan Bellmare has managed to avoid relegation since their promotion in 2017, with their best league finish being 12th place. However, under the management of Satoshi Yamaguchi, they have found it challenging to build on their previous campaign's success, gathering only 12 points from 18 games this season.With just one point earned from their last nine matches, visitors finds themselves at the bottom of the table. Although both Kashiwa Reysol and Yokohama FC are only one point ahead of them, it won't be an easy task for Yamaguchi's side to move out of the danger zone when they face the reigning champions.

Considering the vast difference in quality and recent form, it's hard to see anything other than a routine victory for Yokohama Marinos. Having had a week between fixtures, compared to Shonan Bellmare's recent defeat, the hosts will likely dominate the match and extend their lead at the top of the table.In the end, the 27-point gap between these two teams speaks for itself, and we can expect to see the difference in quality play here. Predicting 3-0 or 2-0 for Yokohama

上赛季在j联赛中排名第一，横滨马里诺斯看起来很有实力在今年卫冕。在联赛五连胜的情况下，他们目前在积分榜上领先3分，领先第二名科比。马里诺斯由前狼队中场凯文·马斯喀特(Kevin Muscat)执教，他很快成为横滨球迷的最爱，马里诺斯已经在今年早些时候夺得了日本超级杯。马斯喀特的记录，包括墨尔本胜利队的两个冠军，说明了一切，他将期待他的球队轻松击败本赛季表现不佳的Shonan Bellmare。韩国秀南贝尔马队在2017年升入甲级后，以联赛第12名的成绩成功保级。然而，在山口聪(Satoshi Yamaguchi)的管理下，他们发现要在上个赛季的成功基础上再接再发展是一项挑战，本赛季他们在18场比赛中只拿到了12分。客队最近9场比赛只拿到1分，排在积分榜的最后一名。尽管柏华雷sol和横滨FC都只领先他们一分，但山口的球队在面对卫冕冠军时要走出危险区并不容易。

考虑到质量和最近状态的巨大差异，很难看到横滨马里诺斯除了常规的胜利之外还有什么。与贝尔梅尔最近的失利相比，两场比赛之间有一周的间隔，东道主很可能会在比赛中占据主导地位，并扩大他们在积分榜上的领先优势。最后，这两支球队之间的27分差距不言自明，我们可以期待在这里看到质量上的差异。预测横滨以3比0或2比0获胜
