Kashima Antlers vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima Predictions

A competitive contest should see both teams getting on the scoresheet in Kashima.

BTTS is my top choice, while I also fancy at least three goals scored.

Kashima Antlers have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 9 matches
Kashima Antlers have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 matches against Sanfrecce Hiroshima
Sanfrecce Hiroshima have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 10 away matches

Head to Head

Kashima Antlers and Sanfrecce Hiroshima will meet for the 49th time on Saturday. Kashima hold the H2H advantage, picking up 22 wins to Kashima's 15.

The Antlers claimed a 3-1 win in Hiroshima in their most recent contest. Only one of their seven previous meetings were won by the team with home advantage.

Kashima Antlers Form

Kashima Antlers hopes of a late title charge suffered a blow when they slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Tokyo Verdy in their last J1 League fixture three weeks ago.

Placed fourth in the division, Ranko Popović's side now sit seven points behind pacesetters Sanfrecce and Machida Zelvia.

The Antlers boast an impressive recent record at the Kashima Soccer Stadium, where they remain unbeaten in their last 17 J1 League matches (W10, D7).

Kashima Antlers Team News

Head coach Popović reported no fresh injury concerns ahead of Kashima's first match in nearly three weeks. Yuji Kajikawa and Aleksandar Cavric remain the only players sidelined for the home side.

Sanfrecce Form

J1 League leaders Sanfrecce face their fourth fixture in ten days after a painful week saw them eliminated from both the J-League Cup and Emperor Cup. Michael Skibbe's side slipped to back-to-back 2-1 home defeats against Nagoya Grampus and Gamba Osaka.

The Viola have enjoyed a superb run of form in the J1 League, though. Sanfrecce won each of their last seven league fixtures, lifting them above title rivals Machiva Zelvia on goal difference.

Tough to beat on their travels, Skibbe's men are unbeaten in 13 of 14 away league fixtures this season (W6, D6, L1).

Sanfrecce Team News

Sanfrecce boss Skibbe is likely to make some alterations to his selection after a gruelling ten days for the visitors. Douglas Vieira and Gonçalo Paciência are among those likely to earn a recall to the first XI.

Injured trio Taichi Yamasaki, Motoki Ohara and Ezequiel remain unavailable for league leaders.
