On July 5, Machida Zelvia are hosting Shimizu S-Pulse in the J-League of Japan. Kickoff is scheduled for 09:00 UTC.
2 months after their last face-off in J-League, Machida Zelvia and Shimizu S-Pulse renew their battle. In their last encounter, neither side could break the deadlock, ending in a 2-2 draw. Machida Zelvia is enjoying a strong run, with victories over Albirex Niigata, Kashima Antlers, Shonan Bellmare and Kyoto Sangyo, their next goal is to extend their streak with a victory over Shimizu S-Pulse. Despite their winning streak, they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, conceding goals in their last three home matches in a row.
Shimizu S-Pulse's form, in contrast to their opponent's recent successes, has been disappointing, approaching this match after a defeat to Kashiwa Reysol in the J-League last Saturday, extending their winless streak to three games. Their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have allowed goals in four consecutive away matches.
In this J-League showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Machida Zelvia and Shimizu S-Pulse throughout the campaign. Yuki Soma and Takuma Nishimura have been pivotal for Machida Zelvia’s attack, carefully orchestrated by Go Kuroda, combining to deliver important goals and assists. With six goals in J-League, Soma is Machida Zelvia’s top scorer in the league, while also being their most creative player, providing six assists in the league so far. Supporting them are Sang-ho Na, Daihachi Okamura and Kotaro Hayashi, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Machida Zelvia’s attack.
Meanwhile, Shimizu S-Pulse’s top finisher Koya Kitagawa and Kai Matsuzaki have played important roles in ensuring their attack, shaped by Tadahiro Akiba’s vision, remains effective. Shimizu S-Pulse’s top scorer in J-League, Kitagawa, has eight goals this season, while Matsuzaki remains their top assist provider in the competition with three. Shimizu S-Pulse have also relied on Sen Takagi, Capixaba and Matheus Bueno to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
