Yokohama F. Marinos vs Sydney FC Prediction

On Friday, both sides played out a slow game and there was not much threat offered in the final third by either team. Yokohama have scored three goals while Sydney have scored just once in three games.

The game is likely to be another low-scoring affair and we expect both sides to share the spoils here.

Prediction: Yokohama F. Marinos 1-1 Sydney FC
