Kashima Antlers, Recent FormThe Kashima Antlers squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Yokohama F. Marinos, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 43% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Yokohama F. Marinos who had 11 attempts and 5 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. With no goals in 3 of their last 6 matches at home, they are showing signs of a problem finding the net at their home ground.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Recent FormHaving secured a 1-0 home win against Kashiwa Reysol in their latest league match, Sanfrecce Hiroshima will have a positive feeling ahead of this match.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
