Sagan Tosu, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Gamba Osaka will not have sat easily with the Sagan Tosu squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they had 33% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 10 of their 28 shots on goal.
Manager Kenta Kawai will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 2 goals, conceded 14, and picked up a meagre 1 points. Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Kashima Antlers, Recent FormKashima Antlers have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 home win against Kyoto Sanga in their previous league match. They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Kyoto Sanga, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Ranko Popović will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 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 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Kashima Antlers, Hayato Nakama will be looking to add more goals against Sagan Tosu in this match.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-1 win for Kashima Antlers.
Kashima will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 9 encounters with Sagan.

With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Sagan at their home ground Ekimae Real Estate Stadium, Kashima man Gaku Shibasaki will be looking for more of the same in this one.
With no real injury worries, Sagan manager Kenta Kawai will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
