Kashiwa Reysol vs Shimizu S-Pulse: Prediction for the Match on May 06, 2025

Prediction for the Japan J1 League game between third-place Kashiwa Reysol and hot chasers Shimizu S-Pulse, who are only behind by three points. The contest will take place at the 15,400-capacity Kashiwa Hitachi Stadium. A preview of the game, team statistics, emerging lineups, and several betting options are available below.

🏠 Kashiwa Reysol: Form and Statistics

Recent Form: W-D-W-D-W

With just one loss in thirteen league games, the Hitachi Boys have declared themselves dreaded challengers for the silverware. They have waddled through eight recent games without losing, raking eleven points from the last five league fixtures.

Integrity remains intact at home, with one win and two stalemates playing out against their last three challengers. The worry here, however, is that the team does not really score in front of their fans.

In their last league appearance, The Reysol giants came from behind in a one-goal deficit against Nagoya Grampus, eventually tipping the scales to a 2-1 victory. With a game in hand on the league, victory at home would automatically catapult them into the second spot, ahead of Urawa Reds.

Six potential points are up for grabs for Kashiwa Reysol, and if they eventually hoard all of them, they will pose a real threat to Kashima Antlers, occupants of the top spot.

Kashiwa Reysol: Lineup

Headed by Coach R. Rodriguez, the players are confident ahead of this fixture. Mao Hosoya remains the trickster up front, scoring the decisive goal in the last match while doubling as the player of the ninety-minute affair. Watai however continues to struggle in the midfield and there is doubt for how long the coach will continue to field him.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (3-1-4-2): Kojima, Mitsumaru-Koga-Inukai, Shirai, Diego-Watai-Yamada-Nakajima, Kinoshita, Hosoya

👤 Head Coach: Ricardo Rodriguez

🏠 Shimizu S-Pulse: Form and Statistics

Recent Form: D-W-W-W-L

The Shizuoka defected badly last week to a 3-0 loss against Nagoya Grampus in what seemed like a game that would not come to an end. The onslaught was unexpected, given that they had just rallied three consecutive victories in the previous three games and an unbeaten run in four games.

The defenders failed woefully to intercept crosses, leaving free headers in front of their goalkeeper. They also failed indecisive clearances, with the second goal concession due to spillage. The third goal saw them ball-watching on a countercharge. It was truly an unbeatable experience for the fans. The home advantage was non-existent and the fans grilled at the repeated onslaught, hoping for a quick end as a comeback seemed impossible.

At home, they have been tough with two wins, one stalemate, and one loss, the most recent meeting discussed. If they do not do their board ahead of this game, we may be looking at a consecutive defeat.

Shimizu S-Pulse: Lineup

Lineup: Coach Tadahiro will struggle against Kashiwa Reysol, who beat their previous victors hands down. While he pushes 4-2-3-1, if he does not look for ways to reinforce his backline, he will be very sorry, and come full-time.

His formation will look like this:

🔖 Predicted Lineup: Oki, Yamahara-Uno-Takahashi-Kitazume, Bueno-Yumina, Capixaba-Inui-Matsuzaki, Kitagawa.

👤 Head Coach: Tadahiro Akiba
