Command Analysis
Kashima Antlers
JapanCurrent form
Kashima is having a good season and still has a chance to win medals. The club is currently in fourth place, but only three points behind the league newcomer, Matida Zelvia, which occupies third place. The hosts have a game in hand because they still have a good chance of catching up. Antlers have been playing well in their last matches. The team has won big away wins over Albirex Niigata (4:0) and Kawasaki (3:1). However, in their last home match, the team failed to beat Fukuoka (0:0).

Nagoya Grampus
JapanCurrent form
Nagoya is not performing well in the J-League, but the team still managed to win one trophy this season. On November 2, the team managed to beat Albirex Niigata in a penalty shootout in the final match of the league cup. The team was betting on this tournament, so the results in the championship leave much to be desired. In the last matches, the visitors lost to one of the main outsiders, Sapporo (0:2), and then imposed a fight, but still lost to Gamba Osaka, which is in fifth place (2:3). The visitors themselves are now in tenth place and will not rise above the middle of the table.

2.45Tip and bets
The hosts are at the most important moment of the season and need to win to keep their chances for bronze medals. The visitors have already accomplished their main task and are unlikely to try hard in the remaining J. League matches. We think that Kashima will not disappoint their fans and will secure a confident home victory over Nagoya.
Our prediction is a victory for Kashima at 1.95
Bet on total
The hosts have not scored in their last home games and clearly want to put an end to this streak. Most likely, the Antlers will manage to score a couple of goals against the unmotivated mid-table team, and the visitors may well realize one of their counterattacks. We believe that we will see more than two goals in this match.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.15
Bet on corners
We assume that the hosts will have the initiative on the field from the first to the last minute. In such a game scenario, the advantage of the favorite in the number of corners is almost inevitable.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on corners at Kashima with odds of 1.94
