Yokohama FC, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 2-2 draw against Shonan Bellmare will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Yokohama FC. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Shonan Bellmare's tally of 22 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager Shuhei Yomoda will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 11 goals they managed at the other end. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Stadium, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Goalscorer Koki Ogawa will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 7 goals in his last 6 league matches for Yokohama FC.
Kashima Antlers, Recent FormThe 2-1 home defeat to Kawasaki Frontale will not have sat easily with the Kashima Antlers squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 25%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Kawasaki Frontale had 16 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Daiki Iwamasa will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They are providing themselves with a good foundation for decent results away from home with their recent run of 2 clean sheets.
Kashima will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
Diego Pituca has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Yokohama FC.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Yokohama FC sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-2.
In their previous 3 encounters with Kashima, Yokohama have shipped at least one goal in those matches. The Kashima defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Yokohama in the league, with Kashima conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, Kashima have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Yokohama.
With no real injury worries, Yokohama manager Shuhei Yomoda will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Kashima manager Daiki Iwamasa has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
