ℹ️ Team News: Kashima Antlers
Yoshihiro Shimoda (Metatarsal fracture) and Homare Tokuda (Broken ankle) won’t be playing for Kashima Antlers manager Tōru Oniki.
📋 Team News: Kyoto Sanga
Thanks to a mainly healthy squad, there is just a single fitness problem for the Kyoto Sanga manager Kwi-jae Cho to contend with. Sung-yun Gu (Meniscus injury) won’t be playing here.
💭 Prediction
We’re of the view that Kyoto Sanga might have a difficult job to be putting a goal past this Kashima Antlers team who we reckon should gain the upper hand.
We’re therefore anticipating a highly competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Kashima Antlers at the conclusion of the game.
Expecting it to be tight.
