Kashima Antlers vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima: Prediction for the Match on June 14, 2025

Prediction for the J1 League game between Current leaders of the J1 League Kashima Antlers and Sanfrecce Hiroshima, fifth-place hot chasers. This will be an interesting game as the two sides have both taken four wins and one loss in their last five games.

Last Five Matches: WWWLW

With eight wins in the last nine games, The Antlers deserve their hold on the leading mantle. So far they have scored in almost every game they have played, making them a household threat this season. In the Emperor’s Cup, they cruised past junior-tiered challengers Kusatsu in an easily predictable 4-0 win that saw them dominate both halves pretty easily.

Before the break, fans witnessed a shocking 3-1 hibernation against Yokohama F Marinos, which was quickly rectified in the subsequent league 1-0 away outing against Gamba Osaka, the next challengers.

The Antlers have an impregnable fortress at home which has recorded four recent league wins. On a wider note, they have the best home form so far - adding an additional medal to their already decorated reputation.

Kashima Antlers: Lineup

Team: Coach Oniki’s effectiveness has been under public spectacle, especially with his intense conservative tactics grounded on the attack. Although the attacking mentality of the squad puts a certain strain on the defensive backline, they have overcompensated with goals. 

Players: Starman Leo Ceara remains the player under observation since he has made himself stand out in front of the remaining squad members this season.

Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Hayakawa, Anzai-Kim-Ueda-Koike, Funabashi-Shibasaki, Suzuki-Araki-Cavric

Head Coach: Toru Oniki

Out: No injury concern

Sanfrecce Hiroshima will test Kashima’s mettle to the bane, with confidence spawned from domination over the previous ten direct clashes with four wins and three stalemates. 

The League Cup break saw them bounce back from a previous 1-nil deficit against Avispa Fukuoka, to eventually clinch penalties and proceed.

Their Emperor Cup Campaign saw them pound Brew Saga 3-1, winning in both halves from a thrilling game that made the visitors smaller than they already were. They have aced their last three away games, gaining maximum points to grab prominence among the best five teams in the league. 

With twelve points from the last five, it is clear that the team are on a purple patch, and will seek to ask questions from the group leaders, who have shown time and time against that they are far from being considered invincible.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima: Lineup

Team: As solid as they have been it seems the team spent the majority of the league opening on testing. At this point they may have derived something close to a formula that has been applied to recent games with three points as receipts. 

Players: Hayato Araki is a name worthy of mentioning as his work rate against Kawasaki Frontale earned them temporary leverage before they eventually fell behind at fulltime. 

Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Osako, Shiotani- Araki-Sasako, Nakano-Higashi-Kawabe-Arai, Germain-Kato, Germain.

Head Coach: Michael Skibbe

Out: Nil
