Yokohama F. Marinos – MF Ogura out until at least mid-July. DF Amano out for the season.

FC Tokyo – MF Otake is out for the season, while FW Hirayama is close to a return to fitness.

Head to head over the last decade it is eight wins each and four draws, although it is April 2008 since Marinos got a win!

Yokohama F.Marinos (P13 W4 D6 L3 GD +2) are unbeaten in their last five, although the last two were draws, and have gotten over their terrible start to the season and sneaked into the top half of the table after 13 games. Two 0-0 draws against S-Pulse and Gamba have slowed the momentum so the fans will be looking for a goal and some points against FC Tokyo. They need to put some of the chances away and perhaps Yuji Ono should be getting the nod over Oguro?

FC Tokyo (P12 W7 D1 L4 GD +2) faltered after their excellent start and were knocked out of the AFC Champions League recently. Last time out they were held by Urawa Reds, but the previous three games were wins so the revival in this up and down season is currently in motion and the will be hoping to knock down close rivals Marinos, as there are only four points between the teams right now, although Tokyo have that ACL-postponed game in hand. Expect a DRAW here today.
