Kashima Antlers (6th)

Last Five Matches: W-D-D-L-W

The Antlers were forced to a 1-1 stalemate on their visit to the Hiroshima Stadium. They returned to the domestic league, hoping for three points against the next opponent Ventforet Kofu in the Emperor’s Cup, but sadly lost out in penalties. They bounced back in the next fixture against FC Tokyo and returned to winning ways in the 3-1 victory. They have not lost to Sapporo in a while but would be wary of sneak attacks and frequent counters common to the guests. As usual, they are tipped as favorites in this contest.

Consadole Sapporo (11th)

Last five Matches: L-L-D-L-D

Having starved of victory in the last five league contests, the guests perch on the eleventh spot and hope to return to winning ways in this game. After the 0-1 loss to Albirex Niigata, they faced another disappointment in the Emperor’s Cup as Kashiwa Reysol ended their seemingly progressive run by defeating them by a 0-1 scoreline. For this game, the odds pick them as the least favorite to gain points, but a stalemate is possible if they up their game in the second half.
