Happy days for Kawasaki Frontale in their previous game, a fixture away at Kashima Antlers (placed 7th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Defender Yamamura got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.12/10. Yamamura served one assist, hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.

There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Kawasaki's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won four matches, drawn one and lost zero.
