Kawasaki Frontale vs Kashima Antlers: Top Free Betting Tips

The champions still have a chance for the title in the current season and need the three points at all costs. Here are our predictions for this fixture.

Both Teams To Score – Yes

Kawasaki Frontale are the obvious favorite in this game and we expect them to win but the Kashima Antlers have also been incredible this season and we will be surprised to see them fail in a second game in a row. The teams played once this season already and Kawasaki Frontale won with 0:2 on the road. All four previous games between these two teams, however, had goals from both teams, and that was when Kawasaki were stronger and Kashima weaker than now.

Match Result – Kawasaki Frontale

Kawasaki Frontale are the team that has played the fewest games this season and already have to play three additional ones to most contenders. They need the three points from all remaining games and we expect them to win here against Kashima, who have not been at their best lately. The visitors have a single win in the last five league games. Kashima have not beaten Kawasaki since 2018 and most matches between them end with solid wins for the current champions.

Alternative Corners – Over 8

We should see a good number of corners in this match. Both teams have similar corner stats in the current season – averages of over 9 corners per game in both teams' matches. Kashima Antlers take an average of 4.2 corners per game individually while Kawasaki take 4.6 per game. The first game between them this season had 9 corners at full time and we generally expect more from Kashima in this game, so there should be 9 again with ease.

Kawasaki Frontale vs Kashima Antlers: Form, Recent Games, and News

Kawasaki Frontale Preview

Kawasaki Frontale dominated the league for a couple of season but had a terrible start in the current campaign. If they did not start in such a negative way, they would have been the main contender for the title right now. Their form has improved a lot and they still have a chance, as long as they win all of their games from now on. They have one of the best defenses as well as one of the best attacks – 38:27 in 23 games.

Kashima Antlers Preview

Kashima Antlers have been one of the best teams over the past few seasons and this has been a fact in the current campaign too. The problem is their current form and that single win in five games. They remain one of the top contenders for Top 3 in the league but a lot of teams beneath them have more games to play left. Overall, the problem here is the defense – they have the weakest defense in the entire upprer half of the table.
