Yokohama F. Marinos might be experiencing a challenging season in the J1 League. However, they have been impressive in the domestic cup competitions, where they have booked their spot in the quarterfinals of the Emperor's Cup and the J.League YBC Levain Cup. Recently, they defeated V-Varen Nagasaki 3-2 in the fourth round of the Emperor's Cup.
This comes after overcoming the threat of Kawasaki Frontale in the league by securing a comfortable 3-1 victory on the road, which was compensation for their 2-1 home defeat to defending champions Vissel Kobe. The Marinos have won four of their last five matches in the league (L1) and approach this match brimming with confidence.
With 38 points accumulated from 27 matches, Yokohama F. Marinos occupies 6th place in the J1 League standings and is level on points with seventh-placed and eighth-placed Cerezo Osaka and FC Tokyo, respectively.

Cerezo Osaka is also a side that is experiencing a challenging season in the J1 League, not to mention they are going to conclude the season without a single trophy having been dumped out of the J. League YBC Levain Cup and Emperor's Cup.

With 38 points accumulated from 27 matches, Cerezo Osaka occupies 7th place in the J1 League standings. They have maintained a three-point cushion over 12th-placed Tokyo Verdy.
