Our Kashima Antlers v Nagoya Grampus predictions, statistics and match poll can be seen below (including the best match odds).

In that match, Kashima Antlers had 57% possession and 12 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. For Kashima Antlers, the goals were scored by Aleksandar Čavrić (50') and Talles (73'). On the other side, Fagiano Okayama had 11 shots at goal with 4 on target.
It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Kashima Antlers have shown defensive steel. In fact, Kashima Antlers have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 8 goals along the way. We will just have to find out if that trend will end up being sustained here.
Ahead of this clash, Kashima Antlers haven't lost in the league to Nagoya Grampus in their last 2 matches.
Nagoya Grampus will go into this encounter after a 2-1 J1 League win over Sanfrecce Hiroshima in their last fixture.
In that match, Nagoya Grampus managed 33% possession and 6 shots at goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Nagoya Grampus was Mateus (40', 48'). On the other side, Sanfrecce Hiroshima had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target. Daiki Suga (81') scored for Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
The stats tell the story, and Nagoya Grampus have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 7 goals in total. In defence, Nagoya Grampus just haven’t been too solid at all.
Their prior results show that Nagoya Grampus:
Looking at the statistics for their head to head meetings dating back to 14/05/2023, there has been little to separate the clubs with Kashima Antlers winning 2 of those games, Nagoya Grampus 2 and 2 being draws in normal time.
A sum of 11 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 7 for Antlers and 4 created by N. Grampus. That’s an average goals per game of 1.83.
The previous league clash between these sides was J1 League match day 36 on 09/11/2024 when it finished Kashima Antlers 0-0 Nagoya Grampus.
On that day, Kashima Antlers had 52% possession and 12 shots at goal with 0 on target.
Nagoya Grampus had 7 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target.
The match was refereed by Masuya Ueda.
Homare Tokuda (Broken ankle) and Yoshihiro Shimoda (Metatarsal fracture) are unavailable for Kashima Antlers boss Tōru Oniki.
Nagoya Grampus boss Kenta Hasegawa has multiple availability issues to deal with. Daniel Schmidt (Meniscus injury), Kasper Junker (Calf strain) and Yuya Yamagishi (Knee medial ligament tear) will miss out on this game.
We’re of the view that Nagoya Grampus will need to push hard to see themselves scoring against this Kashima Antlers team who we reckon should get the vital goal that wins it.
We therefore fancy a very even match with a 1-0 winning score for Kashima Antlers at full-time.
We’re expecting it to be that close.
Looking at the betting prices for the match on the full-time result market, staking on Kashima Antlers is best priced at 2.1, betting on a draw is 3.1 & putting your money on the winner to be Nagoya Grampus is 3.8. They are the best of the market prices on offer as of now.
