In the best league in Japan, we have a match between Kashima Antlers and Montedio Yamagata where I expect the home team to get all the three points.
Yamagata is playing poorly and is clearly unable to cope in the top flight. They are winless in 12 games and really do not see them changing their fate here. They are at the moment the “TEAM” that I will go against every single fixture of their match.
Their last match, against Sagan, where I expect a more even game but they somehow managed to concede successive last goals and lose ugly. Sagan is poor with their top striker and yet they lost the game by a 2 goal margin. Now, that is very poor.
This will also be their first time playing at the Kashima’s home side since 2011. I expect some anxiety among the visitors. Kashima have not impressed me that much but I still expect them to beat a lowly yamagata easily. They have no major injuries.
