Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Recent FormThe Sanfrecce Hiroshima squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Albirex Niigata, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with 58% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Albirex Niigata managed 16 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Sanfrecce camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
Kashima Antlers, Recent FormKashima Antlers manager Daiki Iwamasa will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Kyoto Sanga. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Kyoto Sanga had 11 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Iwamasa will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 5 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 4.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
On an individual basis, Yuma Suzuki is giving Kashima Antlers' travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
It was not a positive ending for Kashima Antlers last time they met Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the league, with the game ending in a 1-2 defeat.
The Kashima defence has struggled against Sanfrecce in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games.
Kashima have lost the last 3 times they've faced Sanfrecce in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
Douglas Vieira will be feeling confident of netting goals for Sanfrecce in this one against Kashima with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
With no real injury worries, Sanfrecce manager Michael Skibbe will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Kashima manager Daiki Iwamasa has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
