Yokohama vs Kashima Prediction: the Hosts Look Better

Prediction for the J-League Yokohama vs Kashima match, which will take place on July 30. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Yokohama has been doing very well lately. Thus, the team's unbeaten streak has lasted for five matches, three of which have been victories and two draws. Currently, Yokohama hold the leading position in the Japanese league standings, with a five-point lead over inferior Kashima. In the last round, Yokohama played an away game against Sagan Tosu (2:2).

Kashima is the second team in the Japanese elite, which can significantly improve their tournament placing in the upcoming game. If Kashima beats Yokohama, they will be three points closer to the lead. In their last five games the club claimed two wins: over Kashiwa (2:1) and Gamba (2:0) and sealed three draws - with Sereso, Sapporo, and Kobe.

This matchup is between two somewhat equal teams, but we have a little more sympathy for the hosts. Yokohama as a whole has shown more convincing results, plus they'll be playing at home, supported by their audience. With this in mind, we suggest betting on a no-loss option for the first team, adding the odds on the total over — prediction: Yokohama's non-loss & total over (1.5).
