Before Betting on Yokohama Marinos vs. Al Ain 2024 AFC Champions League Final
Yokohama Marinos is one of Japan’s most successful soccer clubs, with a huge fan base in its home country. Nissan Stadium in Yokohama is almost always sold out when the Marinos play and the same should be the case with Game 1 of the 2024 AFC Champions League Final.
With their fans there to cheer them on, the hosts should be able to put on a good performance. But will it be good enough to beat the visitors from the United Arab Emirates?
It might, given that these guys tend to play very well in home games. Plus, their opponents are flying over roughly 4,930 miles to get from Al Ain to Yokohama. That’s basically one-fifth of the Earth’s circumference.
They need to fly for just under 10 hours non-stop to get there, so it’s very likely they’ll have jet leg. This goes especially given that they cannot get to Japan earlier than Today due to their duties in the domestic league.
