Shonan Bellmare and the Kashima Antlers are two completely different teams and there is an obvious favorite. Here are our predictions for this game.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

Kashima Antlers are one of the best attacking teams in the league obviously but their current form is not perfect and they have not had an over 2.5 in more than five games in a row. On the other side, Shonan Bellmare are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league and generally score in very few of their games. It is a fact that all three of the most recent games between them ended with over 2.5 goals as well as goals from both sides. However, we expect an under this time.

Draw No Bet – Kashima Antlers

There is an obvious difference in class between these two teams and we would normally bet on Kashima to win without problems. This time, however, they are not in their best form and have just 2 wins in their last five games. They are the much stronger team out of the two but we are not too sure about the win. They should not lose against Shonan Bellmare but to be safe, we pick the draw no bet option.

We have two completely different teams based on performances but we believe there should be enough corners from both sides in this game. Shonan Bellmare have low total averages but they actually take an average of 4.7 corners per game in their matches. On the other side, Kashima Antlers are one of the teams with the highest average corners per game – 9.3 per match, as well as 4.4 per game individually.

Shonan Bellmare have been one of the weakest teams over the past few years and generally have been escaping relegation. Last season, they finished one point above the relegation zone. This season, they are around the same position and have to fight for their place again. The problem this season is that their defense is much weaker than it was last season. They conceded 41 goals last year and now it is already 30 just 2/3 into the season.

Kashima Antlers Preview

The Kashima Antlers have been one of the best teams in the league for years and usually revolve around or just below top 3. The team has improved immensely this season and if it wasn't for the last five terrible rounds, they would have been at the top of the league right now. They are a serious contender for the title but they definitely need to improve defensively.
