Verdy vs Kashiwa Reysol Predictions
Verdy vs Kashiwa Reysol Prediction and Betting Tips for Sunday, June 16, as Matchday 20 of the J1 League continues at Ajinomoto Stadium. Tokyo Verdy aim to extend their unbeaten league run, while Kashiwa Reysol seek to bounce back from recent setbacks. In this article, you’ll find J1 League Predictions and statistical insights for this intriguing matchup.
- Tokyo Verdy are unbeaten in their last two J1 League games
- Kashiwa Reysol sit fourth despite a recent three-game winless streak
- Both teams average over 11 corners per match
- Kashiwa have the edge in recent head-to-heads with two clean sheets
Tokyo Verdy are showing signs of life after a rocky first half of the campaign. The capital side, currently 13th in the standings, are coming off a goalless draw with Avispa Fukuoka and a solid win in the Emperor’s Cup. However, their struggles in front of goal persist, scoring just 13 times in 19 league outings. Injuries to key players like Yuta Arai and Goki Yamada have impacted their consistency, though Yudai Kimura and Kosuke Saito offer attacking hope for Hiroshi Jofuku’s side.
Corner statistics strongly characterize Verdy’s matches. With an average of 4.78 corners taken and 6.22 conceded per game, their matches see around 11 total corners. Notably, 78% of their games finish with more than 8.5 corners, underlining a high-tempo playing style that may not translate into goals but does generate set-piece opportunities.
Kashiwa Reysol arrive in the capital eager to halt a dip in form. Although sitting in fourth place with 34 points, Ricardo Rodriguez’s team have picked up just one point from their last three league games and crashed out of the Emperor’s Cup to Toyo University midweek. Injuries to Kohei Tezuka, Koki Kumasaka, and Riki Harakawa further complicate their squad depth ahead of this trip.
The Gold and Blacks, however, have been corner kings this season, averaging 5 corners for and 6.4 against—resulting in 11.4 corners per game. They’ve cleared the +8.5 line in 90% of their matches, making this market worth close attention. Despite recent losses, their away form remains strong, with just one defeat in competitive away matches in 2025. J1 League Predictions suggest a tightly contested game with strong corner potential at both ends.
Both Tokyo Verdy and Kashiwa Reysol are corner-heavy sides, and the stats back it up. Verdy average a combined 11 corners per game, winning 4.78 and conceding 6.22. More telling is the consistency—they’ve gone over 8.5 corners in 78% of their matches. Kashiwa’s numbers are even more compelling, with 11.4 total corners per game and a remarkable 90% over 8.5 corners rate. The playing styles of both teams contribute to this trend: Verdy often absorb pressure and hit on the counter, leading to defensive corners, while Kashiwa's high-tempo approach creates frequent attacking opportunities. Injuries in both squads may lead to slightly disjointed defensive setups, which further fuels the case for increased corner scenarios. The reverse fixture ended goalless but still showed corner promise. With both teams needing a result—Verdy to escape the lower half and Kashiwa to stay top-four—expect attacking intent and, statistically, a high corner count.
