📊 Form Guide

Kashima Antlers
LWWWWW 🔥
Kashima Antlers fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 0-1 J1 League victory over Avispa Fukuoka.
In that match, Kashima Antlers managed 57% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Kashima Antlers was Léo Ceará (43'). Avispa Fukuoka got 10 shots at goal with 2 of them on target.
An interesting aspect of more recent Kashima Antlers games is the number of nil scores.
From their prior sextet of clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser. We shall soon see if that trend will end up being sustained in this game.
Looking at their past form shows that Kashima Antlers:
- haven't lost in the league to Kawasaki Frontale in their previous 2 matches.
- have not been beaten in their last 2 home league matches.
Kawasaki Frontale
DLDWWL ⚖
After a losing effort in their last game against Al-Ahli Saudi in AFC Champions League Elite competition, Kawasaki Frontale and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

The numbers tell their own story, and Kawasaki Frontale have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 9 goals in total. In defence, Kawasaki Frontale have clearly had some problems.
Coming into this contest, Kawasaki Frontale haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league matches.

📋 Team News: Kashima Antlers
Yoshihiro Shimoda (Metatarsal fracture) and Homare Tokuda (Broken ankle) are not available for Kashima Antlers boss Tōru Oniki.
We think that Kashima Antlers look set to go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, beginning the first half with Tomoki Hayakawa, Ryuta Koike, Naomichi Ueda, Tae-Hyeon Kim, Koki Anzai, Kento Misao, Yu Funabashi, Aleksandar Cavric, Ryotaro Araki, Yuma Suzuki and Leo.
📰 Team News: Kawasaki Frontale
Kawasaki Frontale boss Shigetoshi Hasebe has some current player fitness concerns. Yu Kobayashi (Acromioclavicular joint dislocation), Shintaro Kurumaya (Adductor injury), Jesiel (Hamstring injury) and Geun-hyeong Lee (Meniscus tear) miss out here.
We’re of the thinking that Kawasaki Frontale could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Louis Yamaguchi, Sai van Wermeskerken, Kota Takai, Yuichi Maruyama, Asahi Sasaki, So Kawahara, Yuki Yamamoto, Tatsuya Ito, Yuto Ozeki, Marcinho and Erison.
💭 Prediction
It seems to us that Kawasaki Frontale and Kashima Antlers should play out a closely-fought contest here.
There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very even match with a 1-1 score draw at the end of this one.
