Kashima Antlers Preview

Kashima Antlers have been one of the best teams in the league for years although they are rarely a contender for the title. Last season, they finished in 4th place, which was a good achievement. This season, they are in the title race for real, although their accumulation of draws has already created a gap. Nevertheless, the team has the 2nd best attack in the league. The main problem has been the defense as they concede a lot of goals too.

Vissel Kobe Preview

How does a top 3 team suddenly turn into one of the weakest sides in the league after just a couple of months. That is the story of Vissel Kobe, who finished 3rd last season but have just 5 wins after 21 rounds in the new campaign. Of course, the team is on the rise now with three consecutive wins in the league and we might finally see them out of the relegation zone if they win here.
