My Prediction
Kashima Antlers by 2Gather up, sports enthusiasts, you're in for a treat. The Kashima Antlers and Kawasaki Frontale are about to lock horns, and it promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Mind you, the Kawasaki Frontale have their work cut out for them. Goalkeeper Louis Yamaguchi has put up a good show with a 6.80 rating and 6 saves. But, ahem, Kashima's goalkeeper Tomoki Hayakawa is making him look like an apprentice, flaunting a 7.32 rating and a whopping 19 saves.
Shining from the Frontale squad are César Haydar and Kota Takai who've been netting goals left and right, and Yuichi Maruyama, who seems to have a fondness for keeping the ball rolling with a decent 79.3% accurate pass rate.
Shift your gaze to Kashima's side, and you'll find Aleksandar Čavrić and Yuma Suzuki are walking nightmares for any defense line, while Keisuke Tsukui is someone you'd want in your team if, you know, you like winning.
Past encounters between the two read like your favorite superhero comics, with Kashima Antlers playing the role of the superhero. Beating Kawasaki Frontale, not once, but twice.
Kashima's regular season record is unblemished, as they have emerged victorious in 10 out of a possible 15 games, whereas Kawasaki Frontale's record is a bit like my old socks, a little ruffled with only 4 wins.
And, oh boy, has Kashima Antlers’ recent results been impressive, seem to always find away into the opponent's net. Kawasaki Frontale, on the other hand, could use a little magic in front of the goal.
There's pretty much a sign saying "Kashima Antlers" stamped all over this game. But let's all remember, in the beautiful game of football, you can't rule out a surprise.
