Struggling Kashima Antlers will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Tokyo in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Kashima Antlers form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Kashima Antlers's two home games in the J-League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Kashima Soccer Stadium.
Kashima faced defeat in their previous match, away at Shonan Bellmare (0-1). Ahead of that match, Kashima won a home game hosting Yokohama F. Marinos (4-2).
This is expected to be a close game, with Kashima Antlers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kashima as a small favourite), we find four games. Kashima Antlers has won two of these, drawn two and lost zero.
At Kashima Soccer Stadium, Kashima Antlers has the goal stats of 4-4 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Tokyo form and stats
3-1-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Tokyo in their J-League matches away.
Tokyo are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Consadole Sapporo (placed 8th). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Urawa Reds.
As mentioned above, Tokyo drew the match against Consadole Sapporo. Manager K. Hasegawa brought on S. Muroya to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Tokyo in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Tokyo, two draws and four defeats.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Tokyo are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Tokyo as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Kashima, two draws and five wins for Tokyo. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
