We expect to see more goals than usual in this fixture as we generally see both teams with at least one goal and we generally expect that Kashima will score a lot more than one – perhaps even three.

Match Result – Kashima Antlers

There is no doubt that there is a huge difference between the two teams just like there was in the previous campaign. Kashima started the season with four wins out of five games while Shimizu have a single win after five rounds. Kashima lost to Kawasaki at home, which is more than normal given the difference between Kawasaki and all other teams but generally, they have been great at home and we see no way for Shimizu to win here.

Alternative Corners – Over 8

Kashima Antlers are one of the teams that have taken the most corners since the start of the campaign but it is also important to mention that they also allow a lot of corners to their opponents. Since the start, Kashima have taken an average of 6.60 corners per game while Shimizu have taken just 3.60 corners per game.

Kashima Antlers Preview

Kashima had a positive season last year and finished fourth. In the transfer market, they were also quite successful as they sent out multiple senior players and replaced them with young talents. They got an important transfer from Sint-Truiden in Belgium in the face of Yuma Suzuki – a 25-year-old center-forward. Their offense is incredibly strong now and their defense is above-average too.

Shimizu S-Pulse Preview

Shimizu S-Pulse had a rough last season and their new campaign has not been much better even with the serious improvements in terms of transfers. They paid several million euros for multiple players from Portugal, Korea, and Japan, and also got multuple free transfers. We should expect an improvement from them soon and it needs to happen unless they want to fight for their place in the league once again.
