Kashima have been extraordinary this season and will be a serious contender for the title throughout the entire campaign.

Total Goals – Over 2.5

Kashima Antlers are the team that has had the most goal-packed games out of all in the league. They had 10 over 2.5 games in 16 fixtures total. Most of these matches were in front of their own crowd and the team usually scores 2+ goals in all fixtures. We expect them to destroy Kyoto in this match, after three consecutive fixtures without a win. They lost the top of the table and will be motivated to return with a strong performance. Of course, Kyoto also have the ability to score goals, so we might see one from them too.

Match Result – Kashima Antlers

There is a huge difference in class between these two teams and we do not see how Kashima Antlers could fail against Kyoto. Their performance at home is incredible and they are fighting for the championship. Kyoto have won only 3 of their last 10 matches in all tournaments and their most recent games were a disaster. Kashima Antlers lost a single match at home in their last 10 fixtures and in most games, they scored two, three or four goals.

At the same time, they are ranked 2nd when it comes to corners taken per match – an average of 5.3 and their best stats were in home games. Kyoto have also had a fair share of corners – 8.6 per game on average. We expect a goal-packed game with a lot of corners and constant action.

Kashima Antlers vs Kyoto Sanga: Form, Recent Games, and News

Kashima Antlers Preview

Kashima Antlers had the unfortunate experience to finish in 4th place last season, which did not put them in the AFC champions league for this year. The team was one of the most dominant sides last year and they have even improved more in the new campaign – now, they are serious contender for the championship. Their attack is the second-best in the entire league with 27 goals in 16 matches. Their defense is the main issue as they also allowed 21 goals in those 16 fixtures.

Kyoto Preview

Kyoto got promoted back to the elite at the start of the new season and have surprisingly been quite good overall. We usually expect the new teams to struggle but Kyoto are sitting comfortably at the higher half of the table. Their main issue has been the attack – they have scored only 16 goals in 16 games, which is not good enough for a team with ambitions. Their defense is worse – 18 goals conceded to date and a -2 negative goal difference.
