Kashiwa Reysol have been one of the standout teams this season, racking up 37 points from 20 games and boasting the third-best defense in the league. They responded well to their recent Emperor’s Cup shock defeat by thrashing Tokyo Verdy 3-0 in their latest league outing. With just four points separating them from top spot, every match is crucial. Striker Yuki Kakita is expected to lead the line again after bagging six goals in all competitions.
The Sun Kings have posted strong numbers in terms of attacking intensity and corner stats. They average 11.11 total corners per match, with a massive 78% of their games finishing above 9.5 corners. Their ability to win corners and press high has been a core feature of their success this campaign. Despite some key injuries, their depth and current form make them slight favourites at home.
Kyoto Sanga are punching above their weight in 2025, with 34 points placing them just three behind their hosts. They’ve taken 19 points from 11 away matches—one of the best road records in the league. Their most recent match ended in a 3-0 win over FC Tokyo, marking a return to form after a patchy run. The possible absence of top scorer Rafael Elias could impact their sharpness in front of goal.
Statistically, Kyoto are also a consistent side when it comes to corners. They generate an average of 9.82 corners per game, with 55% of their fixtures finishing over 9.5. The attacking style under Cho Kwi-jae suits an open match scenario, especially against top-tier sides. With each of the last three meetings between these teams ending in draws, fans can expect a balanced but intense 90 minutes.
Over 9.5 corners is a strong selection for this clash, based on both teams’ consistent corner output. Kashiwa Reysol average 11.11 total corners per match, with 78% of their games exceeding the 9.5 line. Their high-tempo pressing game under Toru Oniki consistently pushes opponents deep, generating frequent corners. On the other side, Kyoto Sanga average 9.82 total corners per match, with 55% of their fixtures surpassing the same line. With both teams ranked in the top three of the table, this match is expected to be competitive and open, featuring lots of transitions and attacking plays. Previous meetings have also shown balanced battles, likely leading to repeated final-third entries from both ends. The stakes are high with just three points separating the teams, so expect sustained offensive efforts throughout. The data-driven profile of both sides strongly supports backing Over 9.5 Corners.
