With what had seemed to be a rough patch this season, Machida pulled a stunner against Shonan Bellmare last week in a 2-1 full-time score sheet reading that saw them dominate in both halves. While the majority of the first half period saw the two teams testing strengths, the breakthrough came from an own goal scored in the second minute of the first half added time. A 62nd-minute equaliser set the ball rolling in the second half raising tension levels until they sealed the deal in the 83rd minute, hoarding all points from the hosts.
Judging from their last three games at home, they have not really shown promise, with two losses (1-2 vs Kyoto; 0-3 vs Yokohama F Marinos) and one win (3-0 vs Kashiwa Reysol)
Victory last week saw them maintain status quo in ninth position, with twenty-eight points and a leveraged goal difference value of zero (+24 -24).
Machida plays away from home against Albirex Niigata next, and while this match will also be a contest of wills, their performance next week will be based off how high they climb, or how far they fall against the Antlers.
Machida Zelvia: Lineup
Team: Their solidity of the team against Shonan Bellmare last week was noticeable in both halves, with the extra strain helping them seal the finishing goal that guaranteed victory.
Player: Sang Ho Na was easily the most distinguished player in the squad last week playing hard to secure victory points for his team last week, upon scoring the decisive goal.
Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Tani, Shoji-Okamura-Dresevic, Hayashi-Shimoda-Mae-Mochizuki, Soma-Nishimura
Head Coach: Go Kuroda
Out: Nil

Last Five Matches: WWLWD
The Antlers were saved by the bell last week last week in their 1-1 ordeal against vile opponents Sanfrecce Hiroshima whose push-pull tussle saw them obtain a lead before the first twenty minutes of the game. While the rest of the game saw them chase an eqauliser, the fans were subject to tedious inconvenience on their turf, makekng the game one of the most difficult home encounters this season. Leo Ceara turned up again in the 92nd minute, wiping the smirks from the faces of the opposition who expected to go home with all points.
On the road, they have taken three wins and one loss from the last four games, delivering hell to their opponents who for lack of words, eventually crack upon consistent pressure.
Kashima Antlers: Lineup
Team: The Antlers lead the league, and deservedly so. Thirteen victories and two stalemates in twenty weeks puts them in the top spot, with a thirteen-point difference between the teams.
Player: Leo Ceara remains our most valuable team member, always delivering goals to either break inertia, secure equalizers or ensure victory. He must be careful today sinc he has an underlying yellow card.
Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Hayakawa, Koike-Ueda-Kim-Misoguchi, Matsumura-Funabashi-Misao-Cavric, Suzuki-Ceara.
Head Coach: Toru Oniki
Out: Nil

Despite the slight preference for Machida to win by the bookmakers, I'm strictly of the opinion that the visitors will render a performance worthy of victory. My conviction is that Machida home’s performance has not been convincing enough to guarantee a win against the best-performing team in the league. I cannot see Go Kuroda smiling while Toru Oniki frowns.

- My prediction is an Away Win /Draw and Under 3.5 goals at a coefficient of 1.69 odds from 1xbet.
- Our betting tip will be the BTTS -NO option at 1.80 odds from Bet365.
