Machida Zelvia vs Kashima Antlers Predictions

Kashima Antlers can maintain their winning form in a potentially high-scoring J1 League matchup this weekend. Over 2.5 goals is my first pick, with the visitors also tipped to claim the points.

Stats

Machida Zelvia have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 6 matches (J1 League)
Machida Zelvia lost 7 of their last 13 matches
Machida Zelvia lost 6 of their last 9 home matches (J1 League)
Kashima Antlers have seen over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 4 matches
Kashima Antlers won 9 of their last 11 matches
Kashima Antlers won 4 of their last 5 away matches

Head to Head

Machida Zelvia and Kashima Antlers will meet for the sixth time on Saturday. Kashima hold a narrow 3-2 H2H advantage.

Machida Zelvia Form

Machida Zelvia come into Saturday's J1L matchup in search of a third successive victory after back-to-back successes in the past week. Go Kuroda's men followed up a 2-1 Emperor's Cup win over Kyoto Sangyo University with a J1 League victory against Shonan by the same scoreline.

In possession of the worst home record in the division, Machida failed to win all but one of nine league games played at Machida GION Stadium (W1, D2, L6).

Despite their dismal form in home fixtures, Machida sit ninth in the 20-team division but 13 points behind Kashima Antlers.

Machida Zelvia Team News

Machida Zelvia boss Kuroda is likely to name the same XI that started last weekend's win against Shonan. Takumi Narasaka remains a long-term absentee.

Takuma Nishimura is expected to spearhead the Machida attack. The 28-year-old has five goals in 16 J1L appearances this season.

Kashima Antlers Form

Kashima Antlers continue their pursuit of the J1 League title after rescuing a point against Hiroshima last weekend. Léo Ceará's stoppage time goal - his 12th of the season - secured a 1-1 draw for the J1L leaders.

An excellent run of results in the past couple of months has seen the Antlers win nine and lose one of 11 games across all competitions. Kashima remain top of the J1L, four points clear of nearest rivals Kashiwa Reysol.

Having struggled in early-season road trips, Toru Oniki's in-form side have picked up wins in four of their last five J1L away fixtures.

Kashima Antlers Team News

Head coach Oniki is unable to call on three first-team players this weekend. Ikuma Sekigawa (knee ligament), Koki Anzai (cruciate ligament), and Homare Tokuda (broken ankle) are long-term absentees for the visitors.
