Command Analysis
Sanfrecce Hiroshima
JapanCurrent form
Hiroshima claimed the championship to the last last season, but eventually fell four points behind Kobe, who defended his title. At the beginning of 2025, the hosts are performing with varying success. They managed to win the Super Cup, as well as go some distance in the J-League without defeats, but at the same time, the team was eliminated from the Champions League 2 due to a stupid mistake, passing Singapore Lion City ahead. After a pause for the national team matches, the club suffered its first defeat in the J-League, losing on the road to Kyoto (0:1).

The last two matches of the guests ended with this score
11.00The bid is the number 1 in the final bill
This pattern has worked in the last three matches of the hosts.
1.63Bet At least one team won't score
This bet has played in three of the last five away matches.
1.85Tip and bets
The hosts have started losing points too often in recent matches. It all started with the relegation from the Champions League 2, where the team was denied a crushing victory in the first game due to a violation of the rules. Then the club began to fail in the home championship as well - it managed to score only one point in the last two matches. At the same time, the guests continue to steadily gain points and are not going to give up the first place. We think Kashima will be able to score at least one point in Hiroshima.
Our betting tip is that Kashima will not lose in 1.97
Bet on the total
Both teams prefer a pragmatic style of play and the last victories of the rivals were scored with a minimum score. The opponents are clearly worthy of each other, so they will definitely take the match seriously. We believe that Hiroshima and Kashima will play with an eye on defense, so you shouldn't expect a lot of dangerous moments.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.75
The first half bet
We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. Obviously, it will take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.
Our betting tip is a draw in the first half at 2.10
