Marinos host Fukuoka as they close in on the top of the league

Yokohama F·Marinos are within three points of first place and have their eyes on taking over the top spot in the table as they welcome Avispa Fukuoka to Nissan Stadium.

The Tricolor have been chasing the top for months, having stumbled out of the gate as they integrated new players into the team, but they’ve found their footing in their pursuit of a second straight league title. Anderson Lopes, Élber and Yan Matheus have made for a deadly Brazilian trio, while Kota Mizunuma has been spectacular, giving them a team that can absolutely repeat as champions.

Avi are not playing at quite the same level, but they’re balanced in both attack and defense, allowing them to pick up points with regularity. They’ve gotten results in three of their last four and sit ninth in the table so they are certain to give Marinos a tough battle.
