Kashima Antlers vs Albirex Niigata Predictions

The Antlers are a tough team to beat in Kashima, and I fancy them to claim an entertaining home win on Sunday.

I'm backing Kashima to win in a game where I also expect BTTS and over 2.5 goals.

Kashima Antlers won 6 of their last 7 home matches
Kashima Antlers have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 home matches
Kashima Antlers won 8 of their last 9 matches against Albirex Niigata
Albirex Niigata have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 matches
Albirex Niigata lost 5 of their last 8 matches

Head to Head

Sunday's J1 League contest will be the 37th meeting between these sides. Kashima have a dominant winning record, with 19 wins to Niigata's nine.

Kashima claimed 2-0 victories in their last three encounters since 2023.

Kashima Antlers Form

Kashima extended their winning run to three matches with a narrow 2-1 win against Nara Club in the Emperor Cup on Wednesday. Yuma Suzuki's second-half strike secured a place in the third round for the Antlers.

Ranko Popović's men have enjoyed a great run of form, racking up eight victories and just one loss in their last ten matches.

The Antlers are particularly strong at the Kashima Soccer Stadium. The Perennial Winners scored victories in nine of their last 11 home fixtures.

Kashima Antlers Team News

Head coach Popović has no fresh injury issues after Kashima's midweek Emperor Cup victory. Serbian midfielder Radomir Milosavljevic is expected to remain unavailable with a hamstring injury.

Albirex Niigata Form

Albirex travel to Kashima unbeaten in four matches after a thrilling Emperor Cup win on Wednesday. Niigata secured their place in the third round with a penalty shootout victory following a dramatic 4-4 draw.

Rikizo Matsuhashi's men have made a flying start to the month, with a 3-1 win at league leaders Machida Zelvia followed by a 3-2 aggregate victory against Vissel Kobe in the J League Cup.

The visitors have struggled to find much form in the J1 League. Niigata lost five and won only two of their last eight league contests.

Albirex Niigata Team News

Albirex boss Mashuashi unable to call on four first-team players on Sunday. Eiji Miyamoto, Yuji Hoshi, Yoshiaki Takagi and Riita Mori are all set to miss out for the visitors.

Verdict

Kashima Antlers v Albirex Niigata

Goals seem likely in a potentially entertaining battle at the Kashima Soccer Stadium.

I'm putting my money on BTTS and over 2.5 goals, while I also expect the hosts to maintain their winning home form.
