Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-2 home defeat by Nagoya Grampus will have left the Sanfrecce Hiroshima squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they had 66% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Nagoya Grampus who had 8 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 11 of their 12 games this season.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
On an individual basis, Yuki Ohashi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at EDION Stadium Hiroshima having scored 5 goals in Sanfrecce Hiroshima's last 6 home games in the league.
Kashima Antlers, Recent FormKashima Antlers manager Ranko Popović will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 3-3 draw in his team's last league outing against Tokyo Verdy. In that game they recorded 48 % of the possession, with 8 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 15 shots on goal.
Popović will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 10 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Yuma Suzuki will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Kashima Antlers.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for Sanfrecce in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Kashima in their last 6 meetings together.
Kashima remains without a victory against Sanfrecce in their previous 4 league encounters.
With no real injury worries, Sanfrecce manager Michael Skibbe will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Kashima manager Ranko Popović has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
