Kashima Antlers form and stats

Kashima Antlers have played 6 J-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The spoils were shared in Kashima Antlers's previous game, also at home. Visiting Avispa Fukuoka (placed 7th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Yokohama.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kashima have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won seven times, drawn five and lost two.

Kashima are traveling soon after this match as the J-League match at Nagoya Grampus awaits in three days.

Kashima has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Kashima have conceded 8 in these home matches.

Tokyo form and stats

0 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Tokyo, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) away in J-League, playing as the away team in the J-League this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Tokyo who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Consadole Sapporo was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Tokyo has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Vissel Kobe for a Nabisco Cup game that ended a draw (0-0). Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Yokohama F. Marinos.

Tokyo are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and one defeat. From a total of four matches.

Tokyo are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. Tokyo are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 3 times in 4 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
