Mito Hollyhock have lost 3 of their last 5 matches, but the remaining 2 were a 1-1 draw and a 3-1 win — their defense has conceded 4 goals in 3 matches this season, not the collapse their recent form might suggest. Meanwhile, Machida Zelvia are on a 5-match winning run, scoring 12 and conceding 2 in 3 matches this season, but these two sides have drawn all of their last 3 meetings (2-2, 2-2, 1-1), and Mito Hollyhock concede most heavily in the 76-90 minute period, with 29% of goals against. So the game is likely to be tight until late in the second half, before the home side comes under pressure in the final 15 minutes, and that's when Machida Zelvia will get their chance to seal the game.
