Kashima Antlers vs Kashiwa Reysol Prediction

Kashima Antlers vs Kashiwa Reysol Prediction and Betting Tips for this Sunday’s J1 League clash at Kashima Stadium. The Antlers, sitting in fourth place, trail the league leaders Kashiwa Reysol by just three points. This encounter could have significant implications for the title race. In this article, you’ll find expert analysis and J1 League Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.

  • Kashima Antlers are three points behind leaders Kashiwa Reysol in the J1 League standings
  • The visitors have kept three clean sheets in their last four league matches
  • Five of the last seven meetings between the teams saw under 2.5 goals
  • Both teams average over 10 corners per match this season


Kashima Antlers will be hoping to turn their league form around after a disappointing three-game losing streak. Their recent 2-1 victory over V-Varen Nagasaki in the Emperor’s Cup brought some relief, but their domestic form still raises concerns. Despite their strong home record historically, the Antlers have managed just one win in their last six J1 League outings. Their defense has been leaky, conceding 22 goals so far, and the pressure will be on to keep Reysol’s attack in check.

Offensively, Kashima have shown promise, outscoring their Sunday opponents 33-31 this season. They also hold a psychological advantage, having beaten Kashiwa 3-1 in the reverse fixture back in March. Additionally, they are unbeaten in their last five head-to-head encounters. However, if they’re to stop Reysol’s momentum, they’ll need to tighten up at the back and rediscover their clinical edge in front of goal.

Kashiwa Reysol come into this match on the back of four straight unbeaten games in the league. A 1-0 win over FC Tokyo, with Tojiro Kubo netting the winner, helped them retain top spot ahead of Vissel Kobe. With three clean sheets in their last four matches and at least two goals scored in three of those, Reysol are playing with confidence and control. They’ve conceded just 20 goals so far, two fewer than Kashima, and boast a more balanced squad at the moment.

Corner statistics also make for compelling reading in this matchup. Kashima Antlers average 10.67 corners per match, while Reysol slightly edge them at 11.08. Both teams have consistently gone over the 9.5 mark, with Reysol doing so in 75% of games and the Antlers in 57%. With attacking play from wide areas and aggressive pressing from both sides, this game could again produce a high corner count, a factor that savvy punters will be watching closely in their J1 League Predictions.

Prediction
Over 9.5 Corners @1.72
Both teams have been consistent in producing high corner counts this season. Kashima Antlers average 6.42 corners won and 4.25 conceded per game, leading to a combined average of 10.67 corners per match. Kashiwa Reysol top that with a combined corners average of 11.08 per game. Statistically, Kashiwa have gone over 9.5 corners in 75% of their matches, while Kashima have done so in 57%. The matchup also promises attacking intent from both sides, with Kashima eager to end their winless league streak and Reysol motivated to protect their lead at the top. These teams generate corner opportunities through aggressive wing play and frequent crosses, making the over 9.5 corners line highly viable. With both sides pushing for goals and utilizing wide areas, expect another game where set-pieces and corners become a central feature.
