The 2-1 away defeat to Kashiwa Reysol will not have sat easily with the Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.  It's fair to say that their form in the league has not been good this season, given they have clocked up just 2 wins from 15 matches.

Kashima Antlers will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Vissel Kobe.  They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Vissel Kobe, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.  

With 14 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Ranko Popović will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 7 goals in the same period.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 3 straight wins in a row.  

Yuma Suzuki will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Kashima Antlers.
