Machida Zelvia vs Seoul

Machida Zelvia’s Stellar Second Half Performance

Machida Zelvia is currently enjoying an outstanding second half of the season. It’s not often we see the team perform at such a high level, but at present, everything is perfectly aligned for Zelvia. They can confidently aim for a spot in the playoffs, especially with ample qualification berths available.

Impressive Winning Streak and Recent Form

Zelvia had a rather average start to the season, but the team gradually found its rhythm and began securing victories. Ultimately, Machida achieved an incredible run of eleven consecutive wins across all competitions. This remarkable streak was only broken by Kawasaki, who managed to defeat them. However, the team’s performance in recent outings hasn’t suffered any significant setbacks. In their last match, Machida played significantly better than Yokohama, yet frustratingly settled for a draw. Despite this, Zelvia boasts a strong home record throughout the season, having already secured seven wins on their own turf.

Seoul’s Ongoing Struggles and Criticism

As for FC Seoul, the team is once again struggling this season. For the umpteenth time, the club faces a barrage of criticism regarding the necessity of acquiring such expensive foreign players. Consequently, Seoul finds itself battling for a top-six finish in the Korean league.

Poor Defensive Record and Recent Humiliations

The “Capitalists” are currently languishing in seventh place in the domestic championship. Most disheartening is their defensive record, conceding even more goals than they score. Seoul even arranged a friendly match against Barcelona, where they were hammered seven goals to nil – a complete disaster. Following that humiliation, they’ve managed only one win in four league fixtures and even failed to defeat the league’s primary underdog in South Korea. Recent rounds have seen a string of defeats, indicating that the team is beginning to unravel.
