Shandong vs Yokohama F Marinos Prediction and Betting Tips | October 22nd 2024

Shandong Taishan welcome Yokohama F Marinos to Jinan Olympic Sports Center for an AFC Champions League Elite fixture on Tuesday (October 22nd). The hosts will be looking to build on the 4-1 victory they registered over Tianjin Jinmen Tiger at the same venue in the Chinese Super League on Friday.

Liu Binbin and Valeri Qazaishvili scored first-half goals to put them 2-0 up at the break. Xadas halved the deficit in the opening seconds of the second half but Cryzan scored a second-half brace to secure the victory.

Marinos, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a goalless draw at home to Albirex Niigata in the J1 League. The Tricolor will turn their focus to the continent, where their last game saw them claim a 4-0 home win over Ulsan HD. Shandong fell to a 2-1 defeat away to Vissel Kobe.

The loss left them in fifth spot in the table with three points from two games. Yokohama F Marinos are directly below them on the same number of points.

Shandong vs Yokohama F Marinos Prediction

Shandon Taishan started off their continental campaign with a 3-1 victory over Central Coast Mariners but lost away to Vissel Kobe. That defeat to the Japanese outfit is their sole loss in their last six competitive games (four wins).

Yokohama F Marinos snapped their four-game losing run on the road with their away win over Nagoya Grampus last week.

Games between these two sides tend to be tight affairs and we are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
