Tokyo FC VS Tokyo Greenland: Win rate and score prediction from the perspective of data

18:00 on September 15, the 29th round of the 2025 Japanese League will usher in a highly anticipated city derby battle, with Tokyo FC sitting at the Ainosu Stadium to face Tokyo Greenland. This game is not only an ordinary league match, but also carries a special competition between glory and competition in the same city, and has a profound impact on the league ranking trend of the two teams. Below, we will analyze this game in depth from multiple dimensions to predict who is more likely to win and the final score direction.

1. Recent status: The home team recovers VS away team's resilience

Tokyo FC's performance this season shows a "low opening and high closing". In the first 10 rounds of the league, the team was in poor form and only won 3 games. However, in the last five rounds of games, they have shown a strong rebound momentum, achieving 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with an average ball possession rate of 58%, and a pass success rate of 87%, gradually regaining the style of a strong midfield team. Especially when playing at home, the team's offensive firepower has been significantly enhanced, with the average number of shots per game increasing to 14.2. The forward core Diego Oliveira scored 4 goals in the last three games and was in extremely hot form. However, there are still hidden dangers on the team's defensive end. A total of 7 goals were conceded in the last five games, and the low midfielder was insufficient, resulting in the opponent's frequent passes through the defense line. This is undoubtedly a problem that the team needs to solve.

Tokyo Green Field, as a newly promoted team, has occupied a place in the standings as a "dark horse". With their efficient defensive counterattack tactics, they are firmly in the middle of the fiercely competitive Japanese-Junior League. In the last 6 games, the team has achieved 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, with an unbeaten rate of 83%. The team's biggest advantage lies in the tactical discipline of "all players are soldiers", with 18.3 steals per game (third in the league) and 12.1 interceptions (2nd in the league). High-pressure pressing in the midfield and front court often forces opponents to make mistakes. But the team's offensive end relies too much on foreign striker Pedro Enrique (accounting for 40% of the team's goals). Once it is restricted, its offensive efficiency will decline significantly, which is also a major challenge they face in the game.

2. Offensive and defensive data: The showdown between efficiency and system

From the comparison of key data, the styles of the two teams are completely different.

On the offensive end, Tokyo FC's average ball possession rate reached 56%, far higher than Tokyo Greenland's 48%, but the shooting conversion rate of the two teams was almost the same, Tokyo FC was 10.2%, and Tokyo Greenland was 9.8%. Tokyo FC relies on crosses from the wing (12 per game) and set pieces (35% of set pieces goals) to create threats, while Tokyo Greenland looks for opportunities to score by fast counterattacks (7.2 per game) and long shots (3.1 per game). On the defensive end, Tokyo FC averaged 11.3 shots per game, but only 18.7 clearances (fifth to the bottom in the league), which reflects the team's lack of ability to handle high-altitude balls in the back line. Although Tokyo Green is averaging 14.1 shots per game, goalkeeper Lin Zhangyang's success rate is as high as 78% (second in the league), which can be called the team's "last iron gate" and has tried many times to ensure the goal is not lost at critical moments.

3. Injuries and suspension: The missing key puzzles

Tokyo FC, the main central defender Takashi Watanabe (performing 3.2 clearances per game) was suspended due to cumulative yellow cards, which is a considerable loss for the team's defense line. Its replacement, Kyoto Kimoto, is only 182cm tall. When facing Tokyo Green High Center forward Pedro Enrique (190cm), its air defense capabilities will withstand severe tests. In addition, the injury of winger Huo Ren (2.1 times per game) may cause the team to lose sharpness of the team's wing breakthroughs and affect the diversity of the offense.

Tokyo Green Eye welcomes good news, with the back midfielder Inoue Shimoto (2.8 interceptions per game) released the ban and returned. His sweeping ability can effectively limit the core of Tokyo FC midfield organization Keike Mida, thereby disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm. However, left-back Tomoki Kobayashi's injury may force the team to change into three central defenders, which will weaken the team's wing offensive width and have a certain impact on the team's tactical execution.

4. Psychology and History: Invisible Variables in Derby

Since 2018, the two teams have confronted 6 times in the J1 League, and Tokyo FC has the upper hand with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and has a certain advantage in historical confrontations. However, in the last three dialogues, both teams ended with a draw, highlighting the stalemate of the derby. When Tokyo FC plays against its city opponents at home, the cheers of fans often make the team perform at an extraordinary level. They have won all their home games and scored zero goals in their opponents, which has an absolute advantage on the psychological level. As a "challenger", Tokyo Greenfield has a more relaxed mentality. When facing strong teams in the past five away games, the probability of conceding the ball first and then equalizing is 60%. The resilience they show when facing pressure cannot be underestimated.

5. Score prediction: 2-1 or 1-1 balanced game

Based on the above factors, two scripts may appear in this game:

1. Tokyo FC small victory (2-1): Tokyo FC plays at home, with home benefits, and they can use the advantage of possession to suppress the away team. The team's set-piece tactics are a big killer, and high center forward Rio Sato has the opportunity to score through a set-piece header. At the same time, as long as Pedro Enrique's catch space is successfully limited and his contact with his teammates is cut off, Tokyo FC is expected to score three points with his home momentum.

2. End of the draw (1-1): Tokyo Green is good at defensive counterattack tactics. If they can successfully execute this tactic and take advantage of the gap in Tokyo FC's midfielder position, Pedro Enrique or substitute surprise Yamada Kaedi Yamada scored through a long shot, and the Tokyo FC forward wasted too many opportunities, then the probability of a draw will be significantly increased.

Benefitted by ball possession rate, home court advantage and forward efficiency, Tokyo FC has a slight advantage in this game, but Tokyo Green's defensive resilience and counterattack quality should not be underestimated.. It is recommended to focus on the rhythm of the first half. If Tokyo FC can break the deadlock in the first 30 minutes, their chances of winning will be greatly improved; otherwise, the game is likely to fall into a tug-of-war and end up with a draw or a small victory in one goal. Predicted score: Tokyo FC 2-1 Tokyo Green Field, but you need to be wary of the possibility of the visiting team's upset score. After all, the football game is full of uncertainty, and any result may occur in 90 minutes or even longer.
