In a weekend match on Sunday Jul 10th, in week 21, Shonan Bellmare will travel to Hiroshima to battle Sanfrecce Hiroshima in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched J-League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 26 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Sanfrecce Hiroshima recorded a 0-3 loss against Yokohama F. Marinos. Yuta Koike struck first for Yokohama F. Marinos in the 32nd minute, then Takuma Nishimura added another in the 58th minute In the end, Sanfrecce Hiroshima was frustrated by Yokohama F. Marinos’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Yokohama F. Marinos ended the match with the shutout victory. Sanfrecce Hiroshima should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches, while shonan Bellmare sits at 13th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Gamba Osaka. Yuki Ohashi scored the first goal for Shonan Bellmare in the 43rd minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Gamba Osaka couldn’t muster any offence and Shonan Bellmare ran away with the shutout win. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Shonan Bellmare should be reasonably happy with their performance.
In their last match together, in Shonan Bmw Stadium Hiratsuka, Sanfrecce Hiroshima took the match by a score of 1 to 0. Makoto Mitsuta scored the first goal for Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the 60th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Shonan Bellmare couldn’t manage to score, and Sanfrecce Hiroshima took the shutout win.
Shonan Bellmare’s most prolific scorer has been Shuto Machino. The Japaneese attacker has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches. Sanfrecce Hiroshima’s top weapon lately has been Douglas da Silva Vieira, who has 3 goals in the last 5 matches.
