In my opinion Tokyo Verdy have really good chances to make at least one point in today’s game.

It's an exciting game for the hosts. They returned to the J1 league after 16 years. The atmosphere should be wonderful. Already, approximately 50,000 tickets have been sold. Support should be strong and boisterous, and I am confident that the home team will give their all to prevent defeat in this game.

Tokyo Verdy advanced to J1 through play-off matches versus Shimizu. There are no major changes in the team. Ten players remain from the club's starting lineup from the previous game against Shimizu. Only right winger Nakahara became part of Sagan Tosu. Coach Hiroshi Jofuku constructed a terrific, consistent club, and we should see more of his efforts in today's game.

Obviously, Yokohama is the better team overall, but I don't anticipate an easy game for them. Harry Kewell is the new coach on the bench. He definitely needs some time to acclimate. Yokohama played two Champions League matches versus Bangkok, but the results were not compelling. They failed to win on the road (2:2) and took 120 minutes to win 1:0 at home four days earlier. Freshness is on the Tokyo Verdy side.

Yokohama struggled to score in their most recent home encounter versus Bangkok. I don't see any easy goals for them today. The previous season, Tokyo had the top defensive formation in J2. On the other hand, Yokohama remains quite unstable in the back. Ichimori, the team's first goalie, joined Gamba Osaka. According to the expected goals conceded model, only two teams performed worse defensively than Yokohama in the last J1 season! Tokyo should be able to create opportunities to score.

Double chance for the home side appears to be an attractive option to play.

我认为东京Verdy在今天的比赛中有很好的机会至少得一分。

对东道主来说，这是一场激动人心的比赛。他们在16年后重返J1联赛。气氛应该很好。目前已售出约5万张门票。支持应该是强大的和热闹的，我相信主队会尽他们的一切来防止在这场比赛中失败。

东京Verdy通过与清水的附加赛晋级到J1。这个团队没有什么大的变化。在上一场与清水的比赛中，俱乐部的首发阵容中仍有10名球员。只有右边锋中原成为了Sagan Tosu的一员。教练Hiroshi Jofuku打造了一支出色的、稳定的俱乐部，我们应该在今天的比赛中看到他更多的努力。

很明显，横滨是一支整体上更好的球队，但我不认为他们会轻松取胜。哈里·科威尔是替补席上的新教练。他肯定需要一些时间来适应。横滨队与曼谷队进行了两场欧冠比赛，但结果并不令人信服。他们在客场(2比2)没能取得胜利，4天前在主场以1比0取得了120分钟的胜利。新鲜度在东京Verdy这边。

横滨队在最近的主场对阵曼谷队的比赛中很难得分。我看他们今天不会轻易进球。上个赛季，东京在J2中拥有顶级的防守阵容。另一方面，横滨在后面仍然相当不稳定。第一名守门员一森加入了大阪钢巴。根据预期失球模型，在上个J1赛季，只有两支球队的防守表现比横滨更差!东京应该能够创造得分的机会。

对于主队来说，双重机会似乎是一个很有吸引力的选择。
