FC Gifu's equivalent sample is far more uneven: eight wins, four draws and eight defeats from 20 games, with 29 goals for and 24 against. They've swung between a 7-0 thrashing of Kochi United and heavier defeats like a 3-0 loss away at Biwako Shiga and a 3-0 home defeat to Consadole Sapporo.

Yokohama look the more consistent and higher-scoring side coming into this one.

Comparative Team Statistics: Yokohama FC vs FC Gifu

A long history, but a fresher data point stands out

These two have met 17 times since 2012, with results spread fairly evenly across old J2 League seasons. Venues and competitions vary across that sample, so it's not a clean read on where either side stands now.

The most recent meeting came in this same competition last season, when Yokohama won 2-0 away at Gifu. That's the freshest result we have, even though the wider head-to-head stretches back well over a decade.

Recent history leans towards Yokohama, though it's a small and dated sample overall.

Yokohama's cup section form looks shakier

The table we have shows Yokohama sitting third in this cup section after six matches: two wins, four losses, six points, seven goals scored and ten conceded. That's a noticeably shakier return than their overall form suggests, and there's no equivalent line here for Gifu to compare against.

Yokohama's form within this specific competition doesn't look as commanding as their broader run.
