Find the answer and trending bets in our prediction.
Match announcement
Kawasaki Frontale
JapanCurrent Form
Kawasaki is in tenth place in the J-League 1 standings with 44 points. The team, led by Toru Oniki, has gained many points in recent matches. If the hosts of the upcoming match had played like this from the start, they would be contending for the championship now.
In the Asian Champions League, Kawasaki is also not performing well. Over three rounds, the team has only managed to earn three points. After a victory over Ulsan (1:0), they suffered defeats against Kaandju (0:1) and Shanghai Shenhua (0:2). The club is currently on a four-match winless streak.
Suspensions and Injuries
Due to injuries, Ieziel, Takai, Oshima, and Wakizaka will miss the match.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Kawasaki has conceded in eight consecutive matches
- They have failed to win three home games in a row
Projected Lineup: Jung – Vermaeskerken, Sasaki, Maruyama, Miura – Lenaga, Kawahara, Yamamoto, Marcinho – Yamada, Erison.
Kashima Antlers
JapanCurrent Form
Kashima is performing slightly better than their upcoming opponent. The team holds fifth place in the standings with 54 points. They are six points behind the top three, and if they hadn't dropped points against Fukuoka in the last round (0-0), they would have had a real chance to compete for a top-three finish. Now, it will be challenging, though theoretically possible.
The season has been disappointing, as Masaki Chuga's team isn't even competing in the Asian Champions League and still fails to deliver strong results domestically.
Suspensions and Injuries
Kazikawa and Paredes will not be on the field due to injuries.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Kashima has scored in nine consecutive away games
- The team has lost five straight away matches against their upcoming opponent
Projected Lineup: Hayakawa — Nono, Ueda, Sekigawa, Sugai — Higuchi, Milosavljevic, Misao, Figuchi — Suzuki, Moroka.

The opponents have nothing to lose, so it's unlikely that either team will sit back in their penalty area and play defensively. The history of their head-to-head matches also suggests a high-scoring game. In three of the last four games, both teams scored. We believe this trend will continue, meaning there won't be zeros on the scoreboard.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.62
