Kashima Antlers Kawasaki Frontale betting prediction

The away team comes to this 2^nd round after a (1‑2) loss in their league debut, against Yokohama F. Marinos. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 38 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Kawasaki has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 40 of the last 46 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 14 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 11 of those 14 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 9 of them.

Kawasaki Frontale was surprised in the debut, after all even playing at home was defeated by Yokohama F Marinos. It was an intense and disputed match, however, on the occasion, the visitors won. Now, playing away from their stadium, they will do everything to seek recovery. As it is the beginning of the championship, a draw away from home is not bad, but the team has the potential to overcome Kashima Antlers if they play well and if they do not have flaws throughout the match.
