LiontipsKawasaki vs. Kashima: Japan Championship Match Forecast
A few years ago, Kawasaki and Kashima were among the main contenders for medals in the Japanese championship, but in the current competition the teams were unable to fight for a place in the top 3 and are simply finishing out the season. Who will emerge victorious in the face-to-face confrontation on November 1? You will find the answer and trending bets in our forecast.
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 Onika, has scored a lot of points in recent matches. If the hosts of the upcoming match had played like this from the very beginning, they would now be fighting for the championship.
Kawasaki are not doing well in the Asian Champions League either. They have only managed to earn three points in three rounds. After a 1-0 win over Ulsan, they lost to Kaanju (0-1) and Shanghai Shenhua (0-2). The club is currently on a four-game losing streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Eziel, Takai, Oshima and Wakizaka will miss the match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Kawasaki have conceded goals in eight straight games
- It impossible to win three games in a row at home
Estimated lineup : Chon - Vermeskerken, Sasaki, Mariyama, Miura - Lenaga, Kawahara, Yamamoto, Marcinho - Yamada, Erison.
Kashima Antlers
JapanCurrent form
"Kashima" plays not much better than the upcoming opponent. The team with 54 points is in fifth place in the tournament table. The gap from the top-3 is six points, and if they had not lost points in the last round with "Fukuoka" (0:0), there would have been a real chance to fight for getting into the top three, but now it will be difficult to do, although theoretically possible.
The season has definitely been a failure, as Masaki Chuga protégés are not even playing in the Asian Champions League and still are not showing quality results in the domestic arena.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kajikawa and Parede will be out due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Kashima have scored away goals in nine games in a row
- The team has lost five away games in a row to its upcoming opponent
Approximate lineup : Hayakawa - Nono, Ueda, Sekigawa, Sugai - Higuchi, Milosavljevic, Misao, Figuchi - Suzuki, Moroka.

1.80Bet Kawasaki to score in the second half

1.75Tip and bets
The opponents have absolutely nothing to lose, so it is unlikely that any of the teams will sit in their penalty area and play to maintain the score in this game. The history of head-to-head meetings also speaks in favor of a productive match. In three of the four past games, two teams scored. We are inclined to believe that this statistic will only improve, that is, there will be no zeros on the scoreboard.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.62
Bet on the outcome
Towards the end of the season, Kawasaki played at the level that was expected of them at the beginning of the season. We are inclined to think that this will give confidence in the upcoming match, and the hosts will extend their winning streak in front of local fans against their upcoming opponent.
Bet - Kawasaki win. This bet is offered for 2.24
Bet on corners
Judging by our description, it is clear that the game should be open, and there will be quite a few over-totals, including the number of corner kicks.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.77
