Kashima Antlers, Recent FormKashima Antlers head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-0 away win against Kyoto Sanga in their last league encounter. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Kyoto Sanga who had 6 attempts and 0 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 3 of their last 6 matches. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Daiki Iwamasa will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
Kashima will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Kawasaki Frontale, Recent FormLosing 2-1 home to Yokohama F. Marinos won't leave the Kawasaki Frontale squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. In that game they recorded 66 % of the possession, with 18 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 10 shots on goal.
Manager Tōru Oniki will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will have concerns about his defence with 12 goals conceded in the same period. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 19 games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Marcio Marcinho will be looking to cause Kashima Antlers some problems having scored 4 goals in Kawasaki Frontale's last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Kawasaki Frontale that came out on top with a 2-1 win.
The Kashima defence has struggled against Azzurro Nero in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 games.
Kawasaki will be looking to continue their winning streak against Kashima, having won each of the last 4 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 14 meetings.
With no real injury worries, Kashima manager Daiki Iwamasa will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Kawasaki manager Tōru Oniki has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
